are your aros in a comm tank? i read that if the aro is place in a community tank at the start... they will be more receptive to new tank mates... my aro do not even though my angle fish last time
but i afraid the current aro will deem the albino aro as a competitor due to similar shape
There is only one Aro in each tank but they are in com tanks with other fish, in fact they grew up with other fish in their tank
The Red Tail Gold has always been very cheeky since small.
She was only about 17/18cm and we already started noticing that sometimes she chased the other fish around.
AS she grew and became older, ( she is 4 years old and measures 46cm last we measured) she became worse and worse.to the point where she will injure/stress a fish badly enough to kill it or the fish just hide away, like I said the strange thing is small fish that could be feeders if she wanted, she doesn't touch them, the minute they get to about 12/13cm she starts hunting them all the time...she is ok with the big rays and clowns...
My son had some BIG Danoids with her but had to take them out because they were hiding from her all time
The Red and Chilli are in com tanks with other fish, they also grew up from babies in a com tank but they are not aggressive like the RTG
Sometimes if a fish annoys them, they will chase it across the tank but then they leave it alone and all is well again
I have Datnoids, clowns, severums, flagtail, rays and had tinfoils.. no problem with the Aros
I have read that Red Tail Gold can sometimes be a aggressive
I also think each fish has its own character but if you want a com tank then get them used to be with other fish from small
If you want more than one Aro in the tank it must also be from small but this is luck..
Some people get it right... some dont
Again I think the fish's individual character plays a role
I also see that the success stories usually have a few arowanas together not just two
Its something you will have to try and see what happens
