tank size ? again

[dory]

Is it possible to keep a silver in a LxWxH 63x30x24 tank?

for a while, but you will have to upgrade. IMO, there are some that will keep aro in there for life, but i would suggest atleast 36 depth, with 72+ length, and a 6' tank doesnt leave much swimming room, youre better off with an 8

Two feet wide.....three foot fish.

Only for a while.

for while but you need at least 8x3x2 for life but bigger the better

I will tell you for experience, a 63" long tank would be to short. I have two 27" silvers in a 6 footer. They need room to roam I would suggest 8 foot long minimum.

8x3x2?

a long while.
a little wider and much longer for life.

once you have seen a 2+ foot aro in a 6 foot tank you understand why people say get at least an 8 foot if possible.
