Rajbir Gill - 2013-03-05 I have 6' silver arowana...in a few days he learned to grab food from a hanging thread at a 3' height. I start with pellets but sometimes I hang boiled fish with thread on a 3 inches height and it is a great time to see when he jumps to eat it. I keep two gold fishes and one black moor with my arowana... my 100 gallon aquarium looks great.

Jeremy Roche - 2013-02-23 Check your water conditions. What size tank do you have?
Adam - 2012-10-30 If I put an arowana in a 50 gallon tank will its growth slow down to livein a smaller environment?

Jeremy Roche - 2012-10-30 Definately not. These fish will quickly out grow the tank and such a small tank would add a lot of stress on this fish. These are long fish and need a very long and wide tank. Depth is not as important.
colin - 2012-09-08 Hey guys, I just got a 120 gallon aquarium im planning on starting a small arownana. My question is how much can these fish grow in their first year and also can they be kept with aquatic plants such as anubuias, java fern and cryptocoryne??

Jeremy Roche - 2012-09-10 There is no set scale on growth for these monsters. Depends on feeding amounts!
Jeremy Roche - 2012-09-10 they can be kept with plants.
Ajeesh - 2011-12-03 I have a silver arona 1 feet long which is very active and eats live food and other sea foods, which is very aggresive and will jump for food.

Jeremy Roche - 2012-05-18 It will be ok till it out grows the oscars. I would use a bucket to transfer.
john - 2011-11-21 I probably sound like an idiot for asking this but why are arowanas so expensive? Can't someone just seletively breed them so there could be a 'dwarf' arowana that can go in a 20 or 30 gallon tank?

Charlie Roche - 2011-11-21 No question is ever a dumb question. I thought it was a pretty good question. These guys are large. Normally in breeding when breeders want to 'miniaturize' the breed (ie toy poodle), they breed together the smallest of the pups together. Eventually you have a smaller breed. I really have no idea if this can be done with fish or how it could be done. A particular type of fish (ie molly) are all pretty much the same size.

Alex Burleson - 2011-10-06 Hello, for a silver Arowana, the minimum aquarium size you must have is 125 gallons. Silver Arowanas, can grow to be two feet long! Additionally, Oscars and Flowerhorns reach sizes of almost a foot in length! Rapheal catfish only grow seven inches, and would be too small to place in an aquarium with an Arowana. For a 25 gallon aquarium, I recommend a fish such as tetras, barbs, and danios! I hope that helps.
tejaswa - 2011-10-07 I' m having 90 gallon tank,will it work???????
Josh - 2012-03-01 The fish are OK sizes now but they will get a lot bigger in the long run. The silver arowana will 24 - 30 inches and the oscars will grow to be 12 - 16 inches and grow about an inch per month. 120 minimum but a 200 would be the smallest I would go.
Jeremy Roche - 2012-03-02 Hello tejaswa. To start off. Not only is the tank too small; the Arowana at 5 inches will make a meal of the Flowerhorn. Arowana grow big and FAST and eat used about anything that will fit in their mouth. I would recommend a 150. The 2 oscars alone will quickly outgrow the 25 galoon tank. Good luck and I hope that helps.
The Arowana is related to early primitive fishes and is sometimes called the "Bony-tongued Fish"!

Can I keep a silver arowana in a 8ftx4ftx4.5ft tank?
