Arowanas with Flowerhorns

[AU_Arowana-RG]

If this seems like an out of the woodwork question, then sorry.

As I was browsing over Youtube, I came across videos regarding guys keeping, amongst other things, their Super Red Arowanas with Flowerhorns.

That said (And considering that FH are some of the only Cichlids I really enjoy), how feasible would it be for someone to do a similar thing, albeit, with other Aros? Sure, Youtube isn't exactly to be trusted, but hey, it does give some ideas.

i've kept a silver aro, tiger shovelnose, plec, flowerhorn, and jag all together. the aro was actually the "boss" of the tank. not really agressive, but kept everyone in check.

flowerhorns are the only cichlid you enjoy? Im sorry to hear that.

My FH is only at the 8" mark and I can't imagine him allowing ANY fish to live with him assuming he could catch it. He's got a runt-sized Texas with him but the Texas is faster-which actually says a lot because the FH is lightening fast.

I said ONE of the only Cichlids I enjoy. I enjoy more than just them. Heck, I like Pbass more and Pike Cs are great with their elongate snakehead looks.

It's just that majority of other cichlids seem plain and bland. I like more than what I've stated, but I sure as heck don't enjoy the entire family as a whole as I do other fish families.

Then get pbass or pike cichlids instead. They have more of a fish friendly ego, are TRUE cichlids, apparently interest you more, aren't freakish pink with their ugly heads, don't always rape tankmates, if you have a tank large enough for an arowana you have one large enough for these, have more personality (case dependant), and are just plain awesome.
