My ideal tank size of 5 aros and a ray is 6x3x2.5ft. Wanted to go 3ft depth but I already cannot reach @ 2.5ft so .....
8 aros comm I think 9x3x3 would not look to crampy when they reach adulthood.

If your house allow , a 12 x 4 x 4 will be super nice for a arowana comm till adulthood .

bro too big.... my parent will kill me even if its from my pocket.

shiokmc suggest 3 width. I only consider 2.5 before. guess I will fix 3 width as 0.5 bigger really make it bigger.

agree would be good to have width 3 since you are comm-ing aro and they all need long of space to turn. as for height 2.5 would be good,if 3 think you need to dive in to clean tank base liao haha

Hmmm for the length still haven't decide between 6 to 8ft.
