dude, your going to need a big tank around 300 gallons for a silver arowana. its simple really,if you cant get than many gallons, there are literally hundreds of other fishes you can get.

A smaller arowana species that you might be interseted is jardini arowanas. Alittle smaller but crazy aggressiveness. It is hard to find tankmates for jardinis are they will try and kill anything that enters the tank.

Public aquariums, often have huge 5000+ gallon tanks with full grow arowanas. Some about 40-60 inches i believe.

Yea you can keep a fish in a small tank, but does it make it right...no. As the fish will be stunted.

But anyway, silver arowanas might not be for you. Try really looking into jardini arowanas. One of my favorites, but like i said they will probably be the only thing that can live in that tank besides a plated catfish like a pleco. They are fairly common, and will get smaller than a silver arowana. They look more like asian arowanas than silvers, but jardinis have less and a different scale number and pattern respectivly.

Check out this link on fishprofiles which shows my topic regaurding silvers. http://fishprofiles.com/files/threads/35...

I help clean my friends tank and he has a 50"+ silver arowana with a ~24" cross breed between asian and jardini, and a ~38" clown knife in there.

He built the tank himself out of acrylic sheets and its roughly around 1500g

He keeps it in his basement though because it is extremely heavy.

It is the biggest arowana i have ever seen. The weird thing about it he has never fed them any live fish.
