Arowana with Exodons

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
Exodons will shred the aro's fins and probably make it so stressed that it'll slam itself to death trying to jump out of your tank. Exos should generally only be kept in species only tanks because they are scale eaters and will attack a much bigger fish in an attempt to knock its scales off and eat them.
 
The Arowana is not stressed. I had a friend come over that has TONES of arrows in his garage and he said they sometimes are just like that. I just got unlucky. His fins and color are all amazing and he is growing like a weed and eating TONES. I wouldn't say he is stressed... Maybe Lazy... lol
Just cause someone owns alot of something doesn't mean they know anything about what they own. Do some research on your own, do what right for your fish.

Your other silver that jumped used to "hide in the plants all the time" again not typical arowana behavior. Typical behavior of a stressed aro. One aro maybe, but two? Not a coincidence, your doing something wrong.
 
The exodon will nip at the scales and fins of that aro. If you think aros are boring, Just get an exodon only tank.

lmao! Your friend keeps aros in his garage in the dead of winter? Are you sure they aren't stressed?
 
Its a Heated garage... very nice actually...And I would say he is an aro expert... His fish look beautiful and healthy.. He probably has like 50 Arowana's

I think I will end up giving him the aro and just doing something else with the tank. It is my show tank in my house and I hate sitting on my couch just watching SAE's swim around
 
and btw... MFK use to be a very helpful spot to come to... very happy community... Lately people give these really sly remarks back at people... shame really..

Just like all forums, people come and go. Usually the ones that get snotty are getting bored.
 
yea but this one use to be really helpful.. I am not a huge poster but have been a member since 2007.. and read as many posts as i can in a day. They just seem less and less helpful... More of these Sr members posting telling people what todo instead of helping them. lol... Yep I tried a fish and didn't like it... thought exo's would be a nice addition... and everyone on here tells me arrows are great and the behavior that I see is out of the ordinary.. well thats not what I was asking... I just asked if arrows would work with exos... Thanks for everyone that actually helped me with that :D
