for the majority of them i would suggest 6 foot the smallest and at least 2.5 foot wide, in my case i had the tank first before falling in love with aros so a new tank will be coming this year, but im undecided on whether im going to keep sarah or not....
i absolutely love Asian Arowanas especially reds (i even got a tattoo on my arm of one)
and unfortunately dont have enough space for 2 tanks. so im not sure what im gonna do yet.

Thx for the explanation. I currently have a 96x36 tank and am trying to scheme the wife into upgrading to a larger tank for our polys. Shes always liked silvers but i prefer lei's. The plan was to let her pick out some fish for the 96x36. I'll definitely be showing her sarah's picture !

If your heart is in asians then i would follow it but man thats going to be one hell of a tough decision to make

And when i get the larger tank ill have to rearrange the room and move the tank i currently have out. Just unsure how im gonna tackle it all. In all honestly itll be easier to rehome all the fish before

Cant you just put the fish in large bins while you move the tanks around ? Im planning on doing this and my fish will be in the bins for few days at the least
