Hey all!
Now that I'm out in California and preparing to start a new life and a new tank, I'm kind of considering moving in a new direction with my fish keeping and trying something new.
As some of you may know, I have a bit of experience with aros in the firm of my old black arowana, Drogo. When I set up a new tank, I would really like to attempt to cohabitate a group of arowanas.
Now, I know that anything in the Scleropages formosus group (not that I can have them) and S. jardini are really aggressive and don't tolerate other fish so well. I have seen examples of multiple South American arowanas being kept together effectively, so I assume I could have a combo of blacks and silvers as I please, correct?
The wildcards for me are leis and afrowanas. I'm not sure if either of those would work in a group. Both of them seem to be able to work from my research, but I'd like to hear some first hand experience.
My goal is one black, a white morph silver, a Lei and an afrowana. Here in Socal, I'm looking to set up an 8', 300ish gallon tank.
Anyone think this could work?
