i'll send you a pic of my 3 inch jar and 3 inch silver this friday. hehe so you will believe me. i just put them together last week. so its still not yet proven. They just play like, they bite each other but not intentional bite, just playing. if they really bite, there will be blood and scales missing. but none of that happen.
Im actually doing this and i have just started today with them my silver aro is about 5-6 inches and the jar is about 3-4 inches i did this to try to compensate for the jar's aggresion. theyve been in the tank for about 5 hours now and have not shown any sign of aggresion and have even done a few laps together. I know this means abosolutely nothing but atleast its a good sign and start. Im going to be watching them like a hawk for any signs of aggression or fighting. Im also considering putting in another silver but not sure just yet.
I think we should keep this thread up to date to see if we can help each other with tips and what we have noticed about the fishes aggresion or lack of if possible. That way we might suceed. Isnt MFK about doing what is commonly thought of as not possible and helping each other find the way that works where we have been told it will not

because i'll tell you my story.. i had a 6 inch silver in a 100G tank and put a 3 inch jar, it went well and watched them for 2 hours and after that i came back and my 3 inch jar got a bite in its belly and a lot of scales were missing. Then i bought a 3 inch jar again and trade my 6 inch silver at the petshop for a 3 inch silver and all went well but its still a week. i'll have to observe them still. no scales missing, no bite marks, no fin separating just play bite. like a dog biting its owners hands but not hard just squezzing it, see
heres a recommendation DON'T GO AHEAD. although it would be sweet if u did and they bred and u had a hybrid.
majority says dont do it but i like my jar and silver to get along and swim side by side. i'll go to the petshop tomorrow and take lots of pics of silver and jar in the same tank. i saw a 15G tank with 12 silver and 6 jar, they get along fine. i'll take lots of pics and post it.
