The minimum for a silver

[rallysman]

Why do you think yours hasnt passed 30" ?
I am impressed it has reached the size it has given the size of your tank.

There is nothing that I can think of that is restricting the growth of mine. It just wont grow

Maybe it has topped out. There are small humans so I am sure there are small aros.

mine wont stop growing. but it hasn't hit the 30" mark yet. i notice it either grows heavily in length, but if it doesn't get longer, then it gets wider. but every month, i notice some kind of growth. i need to actually pull out a tape measure. cuz i keep guessing 24" but it could be bigger... could be closer to 26" or maybe even 28"

What size tank would be the minimum for a silver arowana? As i'm getting a new 6x2x2 and wondered would one be ok in it? Thanks.

you would be ok for a few years, until your aor reaches the 24-26" mark. You would then need to make a decision on what to do. I am planning a 8' x 30" x30" for my office this summer. Next winter I am going to atempt to build a 10' x 4' x 3' tank in my basement.

Don't do an aro. They get WAY too big. Do Piranha.

an arowana can only be in a 75 gallon tank for a few months, it will quickly outgrow that tank. do yourself a favor and do some research before buying a arowana

I think a minimum would be a 240g

Thanks, i don't think i could ever acomodate such a big fish for life.

I really have to say it's nice to see someone make a mature decision based on what's best for the fish, I respect that. Aro's are a rare breed, but very rewarding to those who can accomodate them.

I'd like to know what you end up getting and love to see pics when you do!
