i am about to buy a pool that i will put in my garage and it is non toxic can i put a baby silver arowana in there? the pool will have 3 fluval 205 filters that i already bought and the pool filter that comes with it. I am going to hang 4 foot long uv light above it and probaly going to put a few plants in there.
it is 3 foot deep like 7 foot across its a circle and i will cycle it for a month with some goldfish
What are the deminsons of the pool?
How deep is it?
Have you cycled it?
UPDATE
The deminsons that you have offered would work I believe.Silver arowanas in the aquarium trade demand very large aquariums and high standards of water quality.
If the aquarium is going to be planted it will need to have ample swimming space for the arowana. Also the surface should have at least half of it open so that the arowana can feed. Some floating plants are beneficial especially for the young arowanas because they seek shelter under them. But a bare tank will do fine, as long as it has nothing in there that can injure the arowana.
The temperature of the tank should be from 74 to 86 degrees. Temperatures over 86 degrees should not be maintained.
The pH of the tank should be from 6.2 to 7.2 and offer the utmost biological and chemical filtration. Because without this the arowana’s long, delicate anal fin and barbels are subject to fin rot and degrading conditions when exposed to inferior water quality. Weekly water changes of 25% or more is essential to the long term health of the arowana.
The usual size of the silver arowana is 30in. in the aquarium and in the wild they have been known to reach an amazing 48in. Most arowanas can live up to be 10 years and older if well cared for. Some say it can even live up to about 50 year old.
Good Luck on your endeavor.
