I was wondering which Arowana would do best with other larger predatory fish in the same tank. Particularly species like Bass, Crenicichla, and Perch. Does anyone have any experience or advice on Arowana will hold their own in a tank with the fish while also not killing them all eventually? I am trying to decide on an Arowana to get, and am stuck between a Silver, Jardini, or Leichardti.

If aquarium is large enough Pbass and a Silver Arowana could cohab with minimal issues. Never had a Jardini but read they are aggressive with tankmates. Also aquarium size will definitely be a factor. Nothing less than a 300 for Pbass and the Silver Arowana. I've had small and larger Silver Arowana but never observed them harass or go after tankmates.
