Whats your Arowanas Attitude?

hi kimosobey.. first things first.. get your arowana out of there.. arowana are generally skiddish.. 4" or 30".. small arowana are best left alone in their own tanks until they can not be harassed by other fish.. reintroduce your aro with the rest of the fish when it is more than 8". you might as well move the rest of the fish to the 225 G and leave the aro in the 150 G for a bit..

about arowana(silver) character they are easily freaked out unless it is a large tank.. if you are thinking they will be super mean then prob 1 in 100 might.. but really you can't determine the attitude in total.. each fish has its own attitude.. i have 4 silvers all above 22" and i thought they'd dominate in the pond but they steer clear from my Pacu.. they are smaller about 12".. but they swim fast and this bothers the aros..

anyways.. all the best.. cheers..

Definitely heed Kaya's advice about your small arowana. As for attitude well with mine that just depends on how hungry they are. Mine showed a very large drop in skittish behavior once moved from a 180g to a 450g. Proper sized tank will make alot of difference.

x2 to the advice frm Kaya and Brian. Even if you choose to ignore their advice and keep your little aro with tankmates, cichlids like Oscars are the worst possible choice.

As for my Silver Aro's attitude: Extremely calm and docile... Has very rarely nipped at tank-mates... The pic below is from when he was about 12" long.. Even the tank mates in that picture didn't have any problems from the Aro.

Hi, my aro is currently 10 inches with tankmates. Easy going, doesn't bother the others and has a good appetite.

8" silver, doesnt bother anyone and eats like a champ!

I have an RTG thats usually calm and peaceful but is aggressive during feeding time and has been the only fish in the tank for a long time. It would most likely be aggressive towards other fish smaller then it because its been alone without tank mates all its life. Don't really plan on adding anything with it either since it already produces a lot of waste and Its already a show fish in itself.

Okay I'm taking the advise ill do a nitrate test first thing in the morning then if everything is a okay then he gets the whole 225 gallon to him self it has been cycling for 20 days so far. I just want a simi aggressive community tank with the arowana being the spot light of the whole tank. Sounds like you all have some friendly Arows! And sidrock that picture is now my background of you don't mind. Awesome shot
