Arowana trouble
- Thread starter Baho
- Start date
jkyeah i guess it was pretty stupid of me to keep both of them together. i just thought the aro was thougher or that they'd learn to live together seeing they have a lot of space (2 fish in a 177 gallon).every1's tellin me to sell it but the tex is my baby (first fish that i got).i got it when he was 2cm long and now he's arround 12cm. is it possible to put a separator or smt? i'd keep the tex in like 15-20% of the tank and put other fish in the rest.
Rather than using a divider, why not build a community around the texas? Your tank is certainly big enough.

His fins r rotten, he has cuts everywhere and doesn't move like it use to. I'm considering giving the texas back, but he's my baby (first fish I got) and he's big and beautiful.
Any suggestions?!
Thanx
Actually it can be done, you are gonna have to add fish that are bigger then him. Also add some quick dither fish so he can spread his aggression out. When adding new fish put him in a divided area so the new fish can get acclimated without him terrorizing them.
If you end up with injured fish they will have to be removed to a hospital tank or they will need to be added to the list.

...SURPRISE DEAD ARO
16 dead fish now, what's gonna be the next addition to your tank?
:WTF:
