Silver Arowana, Red Tail Barracuda, and Delhezi Bichir?

[sheajared]

Hey everyone, I was thinking about setting up a tank for a delhezi bichir, silver arowana, and a red tail barracuda, all at the 2"-3" range for size. Are these fish compatible? Would they do okay together? If not, what would the problems be?

Thanks ahead of time!

What size tank?

I'd be starting out with a 75. As they grew (mainly the arowana) I would get a bigger tank as needed.

Get the big tank before you buy the arowana..

I would not recommend raising the arowana with tank mates. Keep it solo until 10-11" then mix into a community setting.

Seen a lot of people say that. I guess I will do that. Whats the reasoning behind that? just curious.
