Buying a silver arowana
Hi!
Looking to buy a silver arowana, my lfs has imported a batch in from Colombia which is apparently wild caught, they are around 3" and they have around 20-30 pieces in stock. Question is would you buy 3x silver arowanas grow them out to around 12", keep the best one and sell the rest. Or would you just choose to buy best one in store?! Thank you! |

Get 1 piece and focus your effort to keep it well.

Pardon the ignorance, any visual difference between a wild caught vs a bred silver?

Silver very easy to have DE and PLJ when grown. If you mind better to get more and keep the best.

It will be growing up in a 6x2x2.5 tank, how long would 3 silvers last in there? Some silvers get deeper body some have longer find, that's why I wanted to grow a few out to about 12" and then decide on which one to keep

These silvers are being placed around the whole shop one in each tank, it will be very hard pick out the best. But to be honest there is not much difference at 4"?? Any tips?!! |
