starting arowana

[irvin]

hi, i would like to ask you guys if it is ok to raise an arowana in a 48"x12"x13" tank from young to adult size?

 

[AHoskins]

I'd say no. 12" is way to small of width for an arowana.

 

[---XR---]

no speices what so ever could servive in a 12" wide tank until adult size--- jardini's get twice as long as the width on that tank and aren't very flexible, and silvers can get 3-4x that width. sorry no go.

 

[KenyanSandBoa]

Definitely not.

You would need atleast a 180 to raise any aro to an adult size...but even that wouldn't be a long term tank. You're better off looking for something with a 2 foot width, minimum, and around 6 to 8 feet long.

That would never work. I'd say a 6x2x2 minimum

hhmmm..what is the glass thickness of that tank? An aro would probably blow the sides out of it long before it reached adult size.

That would never work. I'd say a 6x2x2 minimum

For baby size like under 10" than it should be fine, you must upgrade though. Jar grow pretty fast so if it 4" i would say u got about 4-6 month till he outgrow the tank.
