Aro with pbass

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
I had a 8" silver with 2x 2" monos and he only ate one of them, lol. But I currently have a 13" tem with a 20" silver and he's kicking the silvers butt. He's just a real bully though...

Hey my first post. I have two 4.5 inch Pbass with my 2 12+ silver Aro and they have never even looked funny at them I think it would be fine.

how long have you had this combo going for??
 
I would wait. My last silver grew from 5 to 10" in 5 weeks. Also, until silvers are at least 8", they are very fragile and should be kept alone or with certain tankmates if possible. Of course, I didn't follow that rule with my last one.
 
Silverdragon~ I have had them together for about 40 days, When I got my Pbass they were going to go into a grow out tank but my 2 yo son broke it with a baseball and I really didnt have any choice where to put them. I have had aro's for almost 20 years and have never really had any issue's with agression

Ok cool.. glad its working out for you..
Hows the pbass going?
 
Seems like they only have a 6"er.... I dont really feel like risking it so I guess I gotta findem somewhere else.
 
Do you think I could keepem divided for a while, powerfeed the pbass until they are chunkier, and then try it out or does the aro have to much of a head start?
 
silvers grow in an amazing rate from what i heard...i own a black aro which i was told, doesn't grow nearly as fast as silvers, but he still manage to out grow my cichla!
