my big silver guy in my first pic, is 24" right now, and he is about 1.5" wide. He is half grown and a little over a year old. they live for 50 years.
you really cant tell how big he is, but my tank is 6 feet long if that gives you a idea.
bobby la duke has been over to my place and he can tell you how big he is in person!
a few weeks ago I went 4 days without feeding them (I feed them every 3). Well, my big guy was hungry and my 9lb full grown cat jumped up on my top and started walking around. My top is all glass and my arowana saw him…curled his tail back and jumped and nailed the top, knocked my cat right off the top onto the floor. Scared the shit out of him. I thought for sure he cracked my glass. I am not looking forward to the day I need to move him. He was nearly impossible to move when he was 12".
just some quick info videos on them if your interested through nat geo
