Tank size

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
i dont think so. someone correct me if im wrong they grow about 2 1/2 inches per month i think. i always wanted one myself but cant have a big enough tank for them:(
 
I wish peoplewould sit back and look at an arowana before thinking about putting one in a small/minimum tank. These fish swim, A LOT. A small 6" arowana will easily swim and entire 6 foot tank and get borred. They are a very active fish that require massive amounts of space. To the O.P. Upgrade your tank first to something more suitable, then buy one. You will have a much happier and healthier fish in the end. But make sure you have a large tank/pond for an adult, a 3 foot fish needs plenty of room.
 
oh yeah you might also have aggression problems. youll definately need a lot bigger tank about 200 gallons for one

I understand the aggression but si far so good. I may add two more later on. I'm constructing an indoor pond and can meet the demands of these fish, however I'm hoping the four could ffit in this aquarium for about three months.

200? maybe for a small one. Once this fish is fully grown(or close) it will need something over double what you are recommending.
