You can keep a Silver in a 125 for life!

Lets face it most LFS are there to make money. Even reputable forum members here who owns a FS would talk you into buying something that you shouldn't buy, this is coming from personal experience. The fish trade is a business. Unless we catch our own fish everytime from the source, there would be people who would say things they know are wrong to make money.
It is up to your self judgement and research to actually go through with their advice.

I'm guilty for keeping a 30" plus silver in a 125g acrylic with a 8" pleco, 8" prochilodus, 25" TSN. No problems. The silver was previously from a friend who grew it out in a 55g! LOL! I assure that the silver and TSN went to another friend with ponds. But It can be done if you keep up with water changes and filtration.

As most would like to be liked....I would try and be realistic....large tanks mean large bank rolls......filtration,tank size= big bucks......
I seen a world view in person....everyone wants to be that guy but really...that guy has a lot of money or is a vendor like Koji and what nots....dont get me wrong...I want whats best as well....just saying....

? WHAT ?
I own a 6x2x2 tank right now with a 2 foot arowana and a foot and a half CK....I plan on upgrading to a 8x3x3 foot when I can afford it. I was just saying that most people I run into on this sight either has a large set up and has insightful knowledge to share with us all...also some just want these set ups and argue the fact instead of helping share good info.......I personally want an environment suitable for what I think my fish needs....which is space, excellent filtration and water changes with a varied diet........just saying.....not all of us really have them. I was just trying to help those who dont....realistically it cost a lot more money when you get a bigger tank. thats all....I never said a 125g would last a lifetime.....but it would work for a while. I mean everyone wants to say a 55 gallon is too small for a 6 inch arowana on this sight....I personally think that the tank shouls be 3 times the length of the fish and have enough room to turn around comfortably.Datnoid101;2207392; said:
