Arowana and Channa

[rivfader]

heey dudes, i want to keep an arowana (black one) with my channa marulioides, they are 16inch and the arowana i can get is about 10 to 12 inch.
my tank is 150g

would this be a problem or can they live in peace?

thanks!

should be ok ,pick the biggest aro , the marulioides ive had have been very peacefull with anything they dont see as food , just make shure you get marulioides and not maurilia as theese are pure evil in comparison

thanks i'm shore it is marulioides they didn't even eat my p'bass at 6" but i wanted to be shore with arowana... they are not really cheap down here you know

the black aro is a very squittish fish ( an aspect grwn silvers loose ) so I would not advise it, Marulioides having a serious agression potential

 

[rivfader]

well just like tropheus told marulioides is a really peacefullkind of channa... what are your expiriences with C. marulioides?

 

[Miguel]

I stand corrected..I was thinking of Channa Marulius. My mistake.

 

[rivfader]

so with marulioides no problem?

Should not be a prob.
The problem i see is your tank. its to small for the arowana and the channa when they get bigger.

the problem with snakeheads are its teeth,a single bite can cause a severe damage, it may bite the aro's tale...well observe them well,coz i have had my 20in clown knife bit by a 24in snakead on its tale and thank god it just left a big scar
