Arowana

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
Hello All,

I'm having two silver arowana & one jardini pearl arowana, for almost like two months it all went well but now my pearl is becoming more aggressive...don't know know he started biting my other two silver aros....any suggestions...today I just moved pearly to a different tank for silver's safety.
 
You'll have to get very lucky to house a jardini with another aro of any type , they don't mix well with others and will dominate a tank no matter what tankmates you give them , my suggestion would be keep it alone or with some big chunky catfish

I have like one jardini - 2 Silver aro - 2 red tail cat fishes(Juvenile) - 3 silver tin foil - 2 albino plecos (Juvenile) - 1 huge spotted pleco & one angel fish in a 1mtr tank..past two month all were very happy and lively but suddenly from last week I saw silver aros having nipped fins & red marks on it, then I observed them for some time and pearly was biting them.
 
A 1mtr tank cant hold any of those fish long term , you need at least a 6x2x2 for the jardini and silvers get bigger , the stock you've got there your going to need a pond very soon , if I was you I'd get rid of most of that stock and do a bit more research into what fish can be housed in 3ft tanks , unless you plan on building a very big pond in next few weeks;)

Yupp as what Evz said, youre going to need a 1000 gal + just for the 2 arows (getting up to 4 ft each) but everyone is going to need way more space than that being that the smallest fish you got there would grow to 2 ft. and as for the red tail cat fish, theyre known to swallow something the same size as them and you can watch videos on this. all i can say is good luck and have fun but be aware of what each fish will bring in the future :)
