I'd like to have some smal fish swimming in my Arowana pond

last time i released tiger barbs and some mollies, but most of then have been eaten though the mollies have bred, and earlier today i found baby tiger barbs in my pond


was hoping my arowanas will get tired of live fish and eat mp and sw diet



any fish which breeds really fast?
ppalnning to introduce some feeder mollies again, and maybe breed tiger barbs to be introduced to my tank when the fries grow?
any suggestions/tips?

Could go really small like white cloud minnows or do convicts.

Depend on your aros current size, if live stock still look good for him as prey for meals, snack you won't able to feed it MP and other diets.

thanks, also thought of convicts.
my arowanas in my pond are already 24 inches or bigger.
maybe i can try a couple of white convicts. ?
not sure if guppies will be able to breed. i had mollies and tiger barbs before but they're almost all gone now.

thanks :) One worry is convicts might breed and population get out of control in pond?
will guppies survive in pond? dont have much hiding space.
but seriously considering convicts

They might eat the Guppys I would throw some terracotta Potts in the or something and the convicts grow kind of slow as babies so I wouldn't worry about them taking it over right away you could alway sell them off
