Thanks, yeah mine are both the same size. They seem to be doing better so lets see. If push comes to shove I will try to get another tank or take one back to where I bought them from so they can find a suitable place for it. I really hope it desnt come to that so lets see.

I remember reading your 1st post few weeks ago & as soon as i saw it i was gonna say something about them fighting but i didn't wanna spoil it! easiest solution though just add some more aros and whoever doesn't make the cut just post here in WTB 
Here is my last 14" Jar I just sold him & now he's living it up in a much better tank than i had for him..her (i think)

thank u bro i got her locally, saw her at the pet shop & put a little deposit on her then picked her up couple days after. by no means do i have as much experience w/ most of the ppl on here tho, i just been keeping aro since i was a kid, every kind except african aro which i wanna get for filter feeder giant siamese carp tank. i don't keep silver aro anymore bc honestly last 1 i had snapped the glass on a 125g and after that i was spooked. i never had a huge aquarium but every aro i had even my asians grew over 24". my fav of all time is my 1st red, and of course my most recent Jar.
Everyone here has different experiences & keeps their fish differently, no one is better than the next, it is what it is. As long as your fish eating + getting big that's the #1. Most fish will out grow their tank just happens to be everyone loves aro!
Damn, it broke your tank? I have read of this happening and I honestly hope that doesnt happen to me cause idk what I would do lol. I want an Asian Aro so bad but I dont know where I could get one and I am sure they are mighty expensive.
Your aro is in 225g so hopefully you will not need to worry! …at least for the next 16 months! j/k i think that u will be fine for quite some time. Just keep giving mix food + ketapang + silver aro likes the blackwater.
When I was teenager I did a lot of work in Chicago & one of my side job was selling Betta + Aros. The silver that broke my tank was just scared for a sec and pretty much did like a violent flinch that cracked the side panel. I cleaned the water splash with a towel & like 10 minutes later i was like “why is that wet again?” then i looked closer and there it was a 8” crack which then i took out aro + had to sell him & just got rid of the tank. They say that arowana know their owners and this happened when a friend of mine approached him, I’m convinced this is the case here + yes he was very big for the tank too. My aro knew me for so long tho that I could’ve did karate in front of him & he be amazed by the sidekicks lol..i’m pretty sure
but if someone else does it he doesn’t know them he just got scared.It was maybe 1997 when I got my 2 asian aro, both red 4”-5” came across them 6 months apart. I ended up selling both after raising them for almost 10 years. 1st was the most super red i seen & 2nd one was closer to golden with red developing w/ age. I didn’t know anything about spoonhead, xback, tongyan, or anything back then I was just lucky enough to have them. Kept them w/ teacup ray + oscars. Would love to get another red, blue base, or batik one day..wholesale tho!

Mine are very jumpy still, lol. I hope they are fine for a while, my dream is to build a 800 gallon plus or something like that(if I can convince my wife of letting me spend such a crazy amount of money.
Also, I envy those with the Asians man, thats is fish that I am fascinated by but they are illegal here. I know some people have them and I am sure there are ways of getting one but I am sure those that sell them want thousands for them and that is something I cant see myself doing. I wouldnt mind spending a few hundreds on one but realistically not too much since most of us here can afford doing so.
I wish someone could chip on how to get one for a decent price.
Simple move to asia... can get them for reasonable prices here and not illegal to own either lol...
