Just want to find out what kind of tankmates in group suit in with an asian arowana..

for example, a group of archer fish, a group of frontosa, would they suit well?? advice needed.

and also any other odd combinations to suggest,
i will be getting my new tank soon( 5" 2" 2").

thanks...

compatibility really depends on the aro, i like the clown loach idea and have seen it work in a friend's tank with a jar but if the aro goes for them they're both dead, i've also seen pics of a ray completely torn up by an asian aro, a safe bet would probably be silver dollars

just a quick question:

y would the aro die if it ate the clown loach?

the loaches have spiny fins and the aro can choke on them because of that
