Can anyone tell me would it be a good idea :idea: to keep Arowana's and Oscar's in the same tank ??? :feedback:
Because i'm getting a new tank which will be 71"x24"x30" and just wondered if it would be safe to add my oscar's with an Arowana?
I have,. Not a problem at all except the oscar is extremel;y greedy snatching food from the aro.:p

But they don't cause any real threat to each other?

Nope. Unles your aro is smaller than the oscar.

Koji, I love your pic of the flower horn and arowana. That is a really good pic. Gorgeous fish

what type of aro are you getting? as long as your aro's larger then the oscar, it should be fine.

Hi pal, how much is a red aro selling in England? I think it is rare even to see in the lfs there.

what happened to the 7" arrow, rayman?
Probably died from stress or got eaten up.

oscars are nice fish full of character. but their bioload is simply too high. and they are very greedy like what koji has siad it will snatch food.. that pretty much sums it up about them

dude..are you talking about the price of Oscars or the Red aro? There is no way an asian aro can be that lowly priced. Even Green Aros would be way more expensive than the price you stated.

Ive got to wait til i get my big 6 footer to house it. It's 71"x36"x24"
I can't wait in the mean time while i'm waiting to get the tank i'm setting up a fresh water puffer tank it's only 29 gal so if you have any info on FW Puffers let me know ive never kept them and don't really know an awful lot about them.

can't help you much on puffers. but i know puffers are fin nippers. so if you're adding other tank mates better choose those that can swim fast else they'll end up with no fins. :)
