interesting post.....i would have thought it would be like feeding your aro steak dinner but maybe not interesting.

Sure, but be ready for a few to dissapear when you don't feed the arowana.
Ive seen sharks in with other medium sized fish so long as they are well fed and have not accociated the tetras as a food source.

Not in my case. Mines grew up on Cichlid Bio Gold, Aro Sticks, crickets, krill, shrimp & Massivore Delight. I tried a few guppies when he was like 8" long. He got drop eye when it was around the 13" mark ( saw it with my own eyes ).ilovearowanas;3058030; said:

Yeah, and fish only grow to the size of the tank they're kept in.
If you want to try it (which I do some day) here's what I'd do;
1. Grow the aro out and NEVER feed it feeders, get it onto pellets and feed it nothing but so that it associates you and the pellets with food, not other fish. Keep it with tankmates that are too big to be eaten.
2. Set up a large (200g+) tank with plants and hiding areas for the smaller schooling fish (like tight branchy pieces of wood). add a school of 1-200 neons.
3. At 20"+ move the well-fed aro into the big tank and keep it well fed on pellets.
I can't see why a well fed aro that size which has only eaten pellets its whole life would bother chasing around something as small as a neon to get a tiny morsel of food.

That's Yoji's tank. He's a member here. That set up was nice!! Even had a shoal of clown loaches. His tank is not like that anymore.....
