Ello there, got a question!

So I seem to like long, slender fish like silver arowana, eels and snakehead. My new tank is 47'' long, 22'' tall and 12'' wide, 60 gal. Pet store guy said length is all that is important for an arowana, but I think the width is too. After all it needs to be able to turn quickly if startled without breaking glass!

*How wide should a tank be for say a 18'' fish?

*What is the max length/diameter of fish you guys suggest for my tank?


(this tank is my newest tank, can't upgrade for another 2 yrs now, so no grow-outs)
 
No arowana will last in a 55g for two years. I would look into getting a cichlid that would max out at 10" or maybe a bicher would work for ya.
