Dont get it, especially since it is larger than your silvers. Jardinis are very agressive especially towards other arowanas.
 
There's a restaurant in town that had a 200 gallon stocked with 2x 14" silvers, 1x 12" jardini, and 30x cichlids. The jardini would pick on the silvers relentlessly, I would eat there pretty frequently and always see this. From what I've heard/read, Jardinis are best kept by themselves. I have 3x 20" silvers and I wouldnt stick a jardini with them unless it was much smaller.
 
I see its not that I dont beleive you at all like I said ive never had one and I have 6 tanks I could put him alone but you dont think there is even a chance that it could work fish have different aggreshion levels.
 
Yea bro my bad tank space is far from the issue my thing is I want these fish together I want seperate them unless I absolutely have to I am not a fan of having one fish in a 100+ gallon tank its a waste of precious space!
 
Mines is at the 17 in mark now too and before he was fine last night i saw him constantly chasing my 6 in pcock bass

I noticed his fins has been torn but now i know i gotta get him out he lays on the bottom stressed all day

As long with my 11 clown loachs 2 large plecos a cat fish a ghost knife and silver tin foil which was pretty large in size already all dead :(
