2 arowanas

[SandNukka15]

So i have a 3 inch black and silver growing out in a divided 55.....the problem is that they can fit thru the egg crate and i have seen them both on the same side. I havent noticed any aggression......

Thoughts on if i should leave it as is and sperate both when they cant fit thru the egg crate or should i find another divider so they are sperated?

Fyi.....both are passed the yolk sac age

Both of these arowanas will be going into diff tanks after they growout in the 55

I wouldn't think you'd see much aggression they are just babies. I've had multiple large aros together and even added a second adult to a tank and never had an issue, maybe others have had other experiences but I've never had an aggressive black or silver

I had that issue I used poly fill since it will let the water pass.

For long term has just go to joann fabrics and get some mesh it's cheap

I will go to my local fabric store if needed just was wondering what ur thoughts were on leaving as is then seperating when they another inch bigger and cant fit thru

I have three silver arowana and two of them picked on one. All 3" as well. Almost killed him so I seperated one and kept two together. Aggression can happen at that size but if they're fine leave it as is

If you don't notice aggression I woul let them be together. If they are to eventually coexist it's good to keep them together from a young age. Add some dithers or maybe even more aro's maybe.

I hate to say it but I think petco sells a mesh divider to fit a 55g. I just go to local hardware store and get thin plexi cut to size and drill small holes in it

I wouldnt worry about it and just let em swim together.
