Arowana and Giant Gourami compatibility

[Kastor48252]

Can a 6" Silver Arowana and 4" Albino Giant Gourami be housed together in a 100 Gallon Grow up tank?
I have never kept these two monsters before. Need advice.

It wont take long for a gg or an aro to out grow 100gal. They may fight, they may not, just depends on the temperment of the individual fish.GG's are notoriously grumpy fish but can be gentle giants.

Thanx. My 250G would be waiting for them to outgrow the 100G
I just hope that they accept each other
They are in the same tank at the lfs display for the last couple of weeks, but with 50 other fish. so can't exactly know whether they have even been introduced to each other ..

they should be fine together at that size in the 100 gallon.

GG can get aggro when bigger, so just keep an eye on both of em

I just tried nearly the same thing. The goramy picked on and stressed the larger aro despite his little mouth. I got him out quick. I hear they go for the eyes!

gg is agro. I have never had a GG that was not angry.
always angry, even if you fed them well
at a small age, my GG was ok with my Jar, but as soon as the sizes got comparable.... it was game over.
GG is extremely hardy too, can put up with fights with the aro. Aro tend to recluse when stressed, but gg never did that, just kept on eating and truckin along.

I think its bad news, but i want to do it too..... but bad news.

the golden GG have sharp snouts that can go for the eyes. Red tail when older have big fat lips that cant pick on a particular spot on the fish, maybe taht may work better.
