Arowana Tetra (Gnathocharax steindachneri)

[predatorkeeper87]

They look less active then the exodons, looking at their body posture. Cannibalism would only be a problem if they are of largely varying sizes. If you are to get them, try to get them all about the same size.

possible about the activity level, though I can't imagine any small fish from the amazon are lazy.

also possible. but if they school and behave anything like exos I feel like nipping and killing happens in large groups.

I think they'd be unique for sure, and they only get 1.5 inches or so according to the info I just looked at, providing they don't seek and destroy tank mates you could do a unique comm. tank with these.
