Arowana with Saber Tooth (Armatus)

[Leoknight]

Has anyone had any issues with raising a baby Arowana and a baby Armatus together? I am thinking about getting an Arowana but dont want to waste the time if they wont get along as babies

baby aros are very fragile and should be kept alone until they are about 6"-8"

I have raise them together it was not as babies though. I had two silvers Arowanas and a pair of Armatus together in a 360 gallon and they never had any problems.

They were both about 10 inches when I put them together.

armatus will grow faster i believe

My armatus grew extremely slow compared to my Silver Arowanas. They were on a pace just a bit faster than a datnoid. Mine eventually maxed out at about 12-14 inches.
