i have a 300. but was thinking about putting them in a 80 so they can get used to eachother. what do you guys think

I think an 80 will be ok if they are pretty small. But a bigger tank will definitely be needed, of course. And don't forget those pictures!

Why not just put them in the 300g tank. Dont pussy-foot around
take 6, intro together! silvers are cheap so hey lol
then see what happens. maybe put some live food in there, small fish to distract them from each other for awhile.

at 300g, they can live there for a little bit, then you will need a monster tank.

A bigger tank is preferred when it come to keeping them together.

I read somewhere that there should be a minimum of 100 UK gallons per each silver arowana so that means you will need at least 600gallons!!
if you want to keep that many arowana's your aquarium is going to have to be massive!!
and also pretty much big sump should be use.
