IMO not a good idea.

One will dominate the other, not to mention a 125 is too small even for one aro.


I agree i wouldn't do to be safe, Aro's are great in a comunity tank and befriend most fish speices but i think if you were to have 2 in a tank of that size one would end up been hurt if not dead.
 
i'm not ganan put them together i'm goin to sperate them in 125.. i got a yellow tail now i'm planin to get a red tail gold i cant get another tank my parent ganna kill me if i do but i'll get a bigger 1 nexz yr when my aro get bigger so i could get a excuse for a new tank hehehe...
 
I still wouldn't recommend it.
You'd be dividing your already too small for one asian aro 125g into half, so each fish will have, what... like 3' of swimming length and 1'-1.5' turning space.

And even if you do get a huge tank in the future, with just 2 asian aros one will still get dominated. Most of the successful aro comms i've seen have 5+ aros, and you'd need a mammoth tank for that.

A lot of people will contest that you can cram a bunch of aros in a small tank, but IMO thats not the way to go.
 
sell the yellow tail mate, its just not a good idea to do what you want.
