Silver tailed arowana tank size?

[yani]

Hi guys
I have a 2.5mx60cmx60cm tank. Is this big enough for housing a silver aro permanently?
Thanks.

very good length but it could be wider.. but yes.. the aro would be better of with you than with most..

 

[Miguel]

it is an adequate size, yes.

avg. size in the home tank is around around 3feet at most

then i think a 180 is bare min for full grown aro

A 3' fish in a 6x2x2' tank?

8x3x2'IMO is the minimum long-term tank for a silver. A 3' fish in anything less is cruel.

Miguel didn't bump the thread, he answered the Newbs question who dug this one up. Figured that was obvious

I would make try to make sure a Arowana tank is 3 feet in width for plenty of room for comfortable turning space. For long term keeping I personally would want a 360 gal that is 8 Long X 3 Wide X 2 High or bigger.

So I guess he can live in the tank for life then. I will mabye try and build a pond or something
