Arowana with discus?

[Patrick M Bodega Aquatics]

Hello! I am looking to invest in a 300g aquarium with a black arowana and 2 motoro or black diamond stingrays. My idea was to add 6-10 discus with the arowana as tankmates. Would the discus be too small for the black arowana? I would be okay with removing the discus when the arowana gets really large to prevent overstocking. If I didn't remove them do you think it would be overstocking? Any arowana with discus experience would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

I have seen it done and it looks awesome.

I like the look of wild discus a lot more, and I would take geos over rays any day of the week.

That’s a nice set up for the video. I wonder if they have a 6 month update video after the aro has grown a foot more or so?

Seems like that was the last video he posted- I wonder what actually happened in the long term. Looks like an expensive mistake to me. But each their own I guess.

In the first video I was surprised how active the rays were. Is that pretty typical?

Yes. A healthy ray is always scooting around looking for food- even if they just ate.

if you check out the ray sub forum there are all kinds of stickies that will help you learn about rays. Good to know about them before getting them.
