No, some of these will get huge - (Not to mention they will eat the others) - I'd upgrade soon! Nice pick of fish, though.

The clown knife and the Ornate will get pretty large. And both will make a quick snack of the others shortly.

Certainly - Those 2 have an adult size of approx 6 to 8 inches, so you could add a group of others in the same adult size range for a very cool tank indeed.

do u think that trading the dojo and 4 eyed fish for a silver arrowana is a good trade if the arowana is young??

i think he might have been talking about switching out the dojo loach and the four eyed fish, not the clown knife and ornate. In that case no you would still not be ok, clown knifes and ornates get very large.
