agression in baby aros?

[xdragonxb0i]

So i just got two WC silvers about 3 inches from TFD.

they seem to be docile towards each other,
i hope they don't become aggressive later when they grow up

Young silvers introduced together are probably the best chance you have to keep just two together- but you should expect at least some arguments

i didnt want to start a new thread but,

should i wait for their sack to be totally gone b4 i start feeding them?
theirs are a little smaller then pea size

I recently got 10 baby silver from Nate. Some still had their yolk and some didn't, when feeding time rolled around the one's with their sack still ate if not more than the others. So you could try feeding it some softer food and see if it will accept. If not, you shouldn't really have to worry as the arowana will still be getting food/nutrients from it's sack.

BTW all my silvers are now sackless, and that only took them 2-3 days.

i got arowana sticks, flakes, blood worms, and chilid pellets,

i tried to give them sticks broken up and blook worms today, they didnt seem interested in it

Just a word of caution, I started with 11 silver aros 4-6 in in a 265 gallon tank Only 3 made it to 10-12 in. the final 3 seem to get along very well. GL

If it helps, mine are currently feeding on freeze dried bloodworms and raw shrimp.

Remember this is the first time that they will be eating anything, so theyre probably still figuring the whole mouth thing out- it wont be long

What the heck happened to the other 8!? What did it take, 4 or 5 months- and 8 died!? And what is the word of caution? You didnt give one. Tell us what happened, so none of us do it!
