Depends on what species, but you are looking at about 200g (6x2.5x2')for a jardini and 300g (8x3x2') for a silver or black

I saw a tv show where a mother kept her daughter locked in a dog crate in her basement for years. Doesn't mean it should be done. Aros are respectable creatures that deserve a healthy life.
3 times the length of arowana for the length of tank
2 times the length of arowana for the width of tank
and a preferable height which match the other 2 dimensions
some species of arowana grow to 4 feet whilst sum 2.5 and 3
so the tank size tht shud be bought often varies with type of arowana

At work we have a 2000g with two 24-30" silvers and one terrorizes the other and doesn't let him come up from a hiding spot on the bottom of the aquarium.
For a single adult, I would say an 6'x30" footprint would be minimum, but 8' long would be much better.

if a aro is around 20" + would it still be considered a juvenile? i assumed around 26" was the usual size they grow as a full grown adult aro in captive tanks such as aquariums kept by hobbyist & etc. bc my friend has had his aro in a 500g tank since around 6" and after it reached approx. 25-27" it stopped growing and it is still the same size after all these years and still in the same 500g tank with a few other fishes.
what is the minimum requirement to keep 2 6-12" & 2 13-24" aros? and estimated time you can keep them in that size tank until they grow out of it?

Just get the biggest tank you can, that's all anyone can do really. Silvers get huge! I personally think keeping one aro is a bit easier than two. Going from 1 to 2 is not simply doubling the gallons. I think multiple aros need more room. One can be fine in a 210 but two might fight in a 1000.
Sounds like you already have the fish so get the largest tank you can. You can always sell one off if they start to fight.
