Here.
I have kept black/silver/lei and jars but never asian aros

I might be geting 3 green asians , will one or more of the greens be ok with 4 silvers the same size? I have read that greens are a nasty aro??


I currently have 4 silvers in a tank ( about to go into a large pond with a gigas when they get a bit bigger)


I really don't want to kill a green there big $$$ over here.

Cheers for any info you can give me!
 
my greenie is an absolute sod, so are most, there are a few that can be com'd ok but most hate over aros, mine is ok with other fish but aros are pretty much a no go....

Bugger , they look awesome tho , I can get another 2 silvers to make my group 6 , I might do that instead , save myself a good 1000$

I know what a bugger jars and leis can be are greens better or worse? ( if you have exp keeping australian arowanas)
 
greens are the next aggressive after jars
 
An asian aro would be OK with silvers. I got one living with two silvers and two marble pims.
 
i agree with T1... first jars, then greens, then lei, then banjar... and maybe then find a aro u can com....

If you are spending $1000's on ur aros as i know u are living in oz, bottom line is return on investment, and peace of mind, i dont know the price in oz, but here price of three greens is same a one rtg, that would maybe be another option and one u would not look back on in a hurry! #But that said an all silver or even a silver and black com is a dam sexy tank! it really depends what u want from your tank?

Thats a pain , I woulden't even trust a lei with my silvers.

a green? or ???

yes, green (that is the cheapest asian aro). Doing fine. ... have to wait during feeding times. No torn fins or tails on anybody
