sharn Posted August 6, 2006 Report Share Posted August 6, 2006 move all aro out once he gets to around 45-50cm and the pacu around 45 as they require more room and 'turnaround' space cause theyre quick. the oscar would work in that tank indefinatly if you wanted to. your pacu will need to move out the soonest as it wont take long before he is 45cm or so, and your aro is only a baby so you probably have a fair while till he needs a bigger home (not sure how quick they grow) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A.PROPHECY Posted August 6, 2006 Author Report Share Posted August 6, 2006 i red that my aro should grow around an inch per month, if its eating well, and i keep up the water changes, the tank being 60cm wide should provide enough room for the pacu to turn around , until it gets huge lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David R Posted August 11, 2006 Report Share Posted August 11, 2006 Maybe a year. My black aro out-grey its 5'x2'x2' tank in just over 2 years, and AFAIK silvers grow faster and get larger. Tank will need to be 3'+ wide to accomodate these fish. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
