Fruju Posted January 24, 2010 Report Share Posted January 24, 2010 Just dont do it, few months i guess, 3-4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
livingart Posted January 25, 2010 Report Share Posted January 25, 2010 could hit 60cm within 9 to 12 mths maybe sooner could end up damaged in the snout if it is a skittish one Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
livingart Posted January 25, 2010 Report Share Posted January 25, 2010 better to start wif the tank they will spend their lives in. as they can potentially reach 1.2 metres and live 10 - 20 yrs a tank with a footprint of 2.4m x 90cm would be a minimum then Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David R Posted January 25, 2010 Report Share Posted January 25, 2010 Wont last long in a tank that size sorry. Could do if its a Jardini in a 4x2x2'? Trav; the answer you get is only as good as the question you ask. There are 6 different species of arowana (without splitting the asian ones) and a 4' tank could be anything from 30g to 180g. And you might want to be a little more specific with your thread titles, many people [myself included] often overlook threads with titles like "help my fish" or "would this work" or "I need some advice".

trav Posted January 25, 2010 Author Report Share Posted January 25, 2010 sorry was in a rush was going to get an aro. a silver arowana sorry my mistake will explain in my post more :oops: :oops: 8) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Duncan7 Posted January 25, 2010 Report Share Posted January 25, 2010 Just dont do it, few months i guess, 3-4 Seconded, dont buy a silver aro for a 4 foot tank, unless you have a larger tank for it to go in, which may be your intention as you have a 6 foot tank dont you? Even that wont be big enough for that long. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
melrick1 Posted January 26, 2010 Report Share Posted January 26, 2010 haha yeh, go for a bit tank. I still have terrible nightmares moving our 70cm aro from tank to tank (after he smashed the glass in) Very smelly to move aswell.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
melrick1 Posted January 27, 2010 Report Share Posted January 27, 2010 you know how fresh water gish dont realy have that 'fishy' smell?... Sounds like a dumb thing to say lol. But he had a real strong smell like snapper or something you would go fishing for. he jumped out and i had to pick him up from behind the tank, while he struggled and slapped my face lol. he was fine, just a few missing scales Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
henward Posted February 16, 2010 Report Share Posted February 16, 2010 shouldnt be in there. it will die it will get spinal curve. asian arowanas are different to silvers. silvers are large, and long. asians are thick than length. so, i suggest dont do it, it will get spooked, and kill itself. seriously, get rid of the fish first before you buy a green! or, what you can do, is take it into your lfs, and give it to them for free. then instead of a green, buy a jardinii, its only 250 ish!
