Has anyone had any experience with having 2 jardinis with a silver aro before?
There was a thread regarding the coexistence of these 2 but I'm asking about 2 jardinis and 1
Silver!

I would like to add 2 of them to my growout tank it's a 7x2x2 filtration on it is 2x emperor 400s 1 fluval 405 1 marineland hotmagnum, current residence include 1x 11-14" silver aro 2x 9-12" Florida gars 3x 5-7" indo dats.
The 2 jardinis are both 10-12" been raised together for roughly 3 months now and are housed together currently and show no aggression towards each other nor it's current tankmates being 4 other aros 3 silvers and 1 black, in which all of those are bigger then mine by a few inches the only aggression I saw was the largest aro around 2' picks on the jardinis a bit but other then that they no aggression
Any advice/experience will be used in my final decision
Thanks in advance
 
Jardinis have a reputation for being aggressive but you mention that they've had a lot of tankmates. Peaceful cohabitation depends on water quality, tank size, and individual behaviour among other things. I'd give it a shot, if I were you. Put them in the same tank, switch off the lights, and wait. If there's significant aggression, separate them.
 
Trial and error.:popcorn:
 
U need 2 be careful, because arowanas have been know 2 be territorial fishes and if u add two more fishes that like 2 dwell throughout the whole tank u might have a problem with the silver picking on ur jars
 
What's the worse that can happen? You may have to replace a 11-14" silver aro 2x 9-12" Florida gars and 3x 5-7" indo dats. The only way to find if it would work or not is to try it. If you have the means to house the two jardini separately if things go bad, then give it a shot. If not and your just relying on luck and hope for it to work, then you'd better pass.
