New baby aro please inform me on stuff

[baji]

3" silver is very sensitive, lots of mfkiens recommend no tankmates untill they reach 10", silver aro easily bullied by all the other fish even mollies nd tiger barbs at this stage... so seperate him nd change water regularly and feed him with enough nutritional food...

baji...

a 6" Bichir could easily kill a 2-3" aro even if he doesn't eat him it wouldn't take much for a fish that size to kill a skinny little aro. but if he's not the culprit I don't know what to tell you. when they died did they look injured/bitten or were they just belly up?

2 of them r 2" and the delhezi iv had for 2 years and its 6" it has never been aggressive tword anything not even food sized fish

what are your water parameters? the exact numbers please (temperature, ammonia, nitrates, etc.) the delhezi is sketchy, I remove the delhezi. diet? 4 arowanas in 4 months for no apparent reason is scary. BTW in 2 years that delhezi should be bigger than 6".

BTW that endli poly can easily eat the silver arowana given enough growth

I no for a 100% fact the delhezi bothers no one not even the aro the endlis I just got they r only 2" and ill test my water tomorrow and give the exact perimeters of the water but I do no that 99% of the time the ph is 7 the nitrites r always 0 the ammonia is always between 0-0.25 and the nitrates stay between 10-40 and there was never any signs of injury not once

could just be stress from the tankmates. as Baji said before I would try housing it alone until it gets some size

Ok did the water test as soon as I woke up this morning my perimeters are approximately this
Temperature....78
Ph...7.0
Ammonia...0
Nitrites...0
Nitrates...5.0-10
Everything is perfect as it should be... Also have lots of live plants to help keep everything in check as well
