Arowana and upper jaw bichirs

[Champagne Papi]

I've seen a video of one Witt a delhezi and I'm pretty sure it worked but would an aro work with my upper jaw collection or would my albino's be in danger? Or the bichirs that only get to 12 inches? I really want one but I love my bichirs more

I think it depends on which Arowana and then it's down to the individual. I have 22" gold aro with polys as small as 6" and plecs at 3" no problems at all.

Bichirs and arowanas usually go together pretty well. The place you usually find problems is tank size.

Birchirs have always been fine with all my jardini all of those have killed tankmates and are aggressive but never bothered my Birchirs

I know I'm working on getting this 180 gallon now. Do they grow somewhat like bichirs? And what's a pretty good tank size for them. I want more bichirs also but they top looks so lonely unless the bichirs are having an active day

 

[Dr.B]

Yeah 180 won't be big enough

 

[Champagne Papi]

Yeah 180 won't be big enough

What's the size I'll need for full grown?

 

[Dr.B]

I haven't kept aros, but when I was researching them, everyone said its best to have have a 36" depth and something like 7-8+ feet long.

 

[Champagne Papi]

Wow that's a huge fish

This is true for silvers and blacks, but most people would agree a 180 is adaquate for a jardini or asain.
