The biggest I've seen was the Monster Aro at Shedd aquarium. No idea how big it actually is and it was 4-5 years ago when I was there. I remember it being huge though. I have some regular film photos of it but they are terrible.

And HOLY SH** @ the Aro eating the Rabbit. That thing is a beast.

yea aquaticdesignsp has one of the nicest silver aro - SA bio type tanks.

That video of the Arowana eating the rabbit is nice!! I bet they got a lot of crap on youtube from people who felt bad for the rabbit

My pop had an old photo of an aro, dead, layed out over a measuring tape. 50" on the dot - thats 4'2".
It was a pretty fat fish, very deep bodied for an aro. It was kept in an indoor pool converted to an aquarium of sorts.

Just because you havent seen it, doesnt mean they arent around.

Yet stange no posted photos At least we have some pics and vid of bigfoot and Nessy.

More like a 18-20" oscar, it is actually possible for an O to reach 16", it isn't possible (well provable is probably a better word) for an aro to get to 4'.


Are you sure it was only 5" tall? That seems very skinny for a 2.5' aro, I'd expect an aro that size to be at least 6-7".

i only brifly looked at it as i was getting my black aro at the time...i went back and i talked to the guy about adopting it, but he wants $200 for it...it was actually 7-8" tall...i was just rough guesstamating it from the glance i took the first time...the second trip i used my hand for a measurement...
