What size tank for silver arowana

[pbass2005]

I was just wondering can a silver aro and pbass live in a 420g together. Right now I have a 55g grow out tank they will be in their until they get a good size on them. The dimensions of the 420g are 96 by 48 by24.

Welcome aboard

Yes they can live together but feeding may be a challenge. Also a Silver Aro will outgrow the 55 in about 4-5 months.

Hey welcome to MFK!
Seems like a 420 would be fine. Pbass may sometimes nip at the arrowana but with that size tank I would think ok.

That size tank will help but as said above you will likely see some chasing and nipping

My plan us when my aro out grows the 55 I'm Going to get a 125g until I have the 420g

Yep. pbass attracted to shiny fish. Best if shiny fish can endure some nipping. My silver dollars have scales flying now and then. But they are just oblivious. Nothing seems to affect them. Definitely need to make sure Aro is pretty big or pbass will eat them. My 7-8" bass will eat fish 4-5" long.

The African Butterfly fish will be eaten or killed put in seperate aquarium.
