2 baby black arowanas...can they go together?

Can I keep 2 baby black aro's in the same tank?

Ordered two 3" black aros and forgot not suppose to keep them in pairs...

Think since they are juveniles together will be ok?

125 gallon tank. They are only babies. I'm hoping it will be ok.

There will also be 2 peacock bass.

ah dude dont keep baby aros with tankmates unless the aro is bigger then 5"

There is a high probability that the pair will not work. Hao is right, the baby aros should be kept alone for they are very fragile at this size. What size are the P bass?

Dude... i would advice not to put pbass in with your 3" blks...

Blks are the most delicate Arowana... you should have a 20-40 gallon grow out tank for the two... your 125 is just too big for the blks...

Also Pbass will eat anything smaller than their own size...

 

[Hao]

PB might stress out your aros too

The p.bass are only 2"! They are babies! Was hoping introducing the arowana and the p.bass as juveniles would help them get along down the road.

nah should not good leave the 2 blacks alone 1st until 5-6

P bass can eat fish 2/3 their size. While your new aros will be twice as long as the bass, they are long and narrow. The bass may try to chomp the tail end and not really be able to eat the aro but could mortally wound it.
