all this flaming in nonsense, why do all you people just rag on the kid, he's pry been told he'll need a bigger tank a hundred times, and he says he will so why not leave him be? and to your question, you could keep a silver for 6-8 months, just feed him every other day, he wont grow as fast, problem solved lol
 
Since when was it that you ALWAYS needed to get the tank needed for the full-grown size first?

Provided with what he has, it would actually be good to grow out a small 3-4 inch individual in the tank he has right now and either give it to someone or upgrade later. Keeping such a small fish in a big tank would probably be hassle for a number of cases as you'd always worry about your fish being dead if you can't find it.

HECK, I'm going to probably comm some 6-8 baby aros in a 50-75g tank with some smaller preds until they grow to 6-10 inches, after which, then they get deported to the big tank.

There is absolutely no problem wih using this tank as a growout and getting the bigger one later.

As for your inquiry for Afro butterflies, try asking around MFK for some info on where to buy. Just find some guys who live in the same area as you to get some help.
 
cnt help u in dis topic...diff location n diff pricing!! so den if u want 2 get it cheap, cum 2 malaysia den ;p
 
are arowanas cheap in Malaysia?
if yes how much are they?
 
There's no problem with growing out a fish in a smaller tank if you know you will have a place to put it when it outgrows that tank. I'm just worried that the OP will not be able to get this bigger tank when he needs it. It's easy to bite off more than you can chew, especially when you're young.

We're not trying to rain on anyone's parade, we just don't want the OP to get in over his head. That won't do anyone any good.

Is that enough metaphors?
 
you live in London like me

so you would be crazy not to go with a Asian aro they are legal hear un like the US :D

rubbish a green aro will grow to 2ft max in a tank

but if you want my opinion you tank is not wide enough for any aro

it maybe long but surely the aro will need to turn around when it swims the length of you tank
 
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
i know that is not wide enough but I'm planing bigger aquarium in future.
asians aros are way 2 expensive.
silver £30-50
green £100-200
rtg £300+
and so on up to over £50000 for an arowana with two heads
 
wait till u get the bigger aquarium then get the arrow just incase anything goes wrong u never know what could happen in between that time just save up 4 a bit longer and buy a different tank 2 the 1 ur gonna get soon...
 
I can't,why?
oh well I'm not going to keep one arowana in 1000litres aquarium on its own!
6cm arowana in that big aquarium would be scared just like an baby corn snakes,they have to be keep in a small terrariums otherwise they are very scared and also it would be hard to look on 6cm arowana in 1000litres aquarium.
 
If you are going to start witha 6cm aro, you'd better do your research. Aros this small need to be raised without any or very select tankmates. Baby aros are very fragile.

You also will need to start in a smaller tank but not because the aro will be scared.
Feeding the aro is much more difficult in a large tank. Best bet is to go with a 55g tank until it is about 8" long.
