Arowana and upper jaw bichirs

[Dr.B]

Yes but Asian is illegal here, and from what I've read jardini can be hit or miss. I've heard good and very bad about jardini with tank mates. Never been one to risk it with what I've read about the possible aggression.

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

So it would be okay in a tank that size?

if you do a jardini yes, but I would Definitley look up what other people's expirienced are with them. I've heard of some that have killed entire tanks worth of fish over night. That's why I never got one, because of just the possibility that could happen.

lol my bichirs are more important I can try to mix all upper a lower jaws first then worry about the aro or jardini

Ah, was on mobile so I couldn't see location. Jardini's certainly have a bad rap, but from what i have seen in person, they arent that bad. Nothing compared to cichlids IMO.

Some are quite aggressive while others are just fine in a community. I personally have seen way more community friendly jars in person than aggressive jars.

In my experience, even aggressive jars tend to leave bottom dwellers alone. My current Jar is quite aggressive to swimming fishes, but doesn't bother my bichirs or cats at all. Mileage may vary, but I think its relatively low risk putting jars with bottom dwellers, especially Bichirs, who could damage an Aro far more than an Aro could damage them, assuming similar size.

aro never bother or hurt any bichirs ... perfect tankmates
