will a breeding pair of 3-4inch cons be OK with a 6-7 inch silver arow, in a 30gallon for week until my new tank has finished cycling?
and will they be ok together in a 95gallon??
 
The aro might be harmed. I'd watch very closely if you decide to do it.
 
how badly harmed?? killed??
 
i don't think the aro would be killed...probably some missing scales and chewed up fins
 
Convict agression comes from there need to breed while they breed they become extreamly agressive ! and can't tollerate any other fishes so your idea to add a BREEDING PAIR of convicts in a small 30gal tank with a 6" arowana would possably end in tears ! maybe not death but anything possible i'd stick the aro in your 60gal and the convicts in your 30gal !
 
so i guess that a no, my two 3 inch oscars wont live with my arow, they beat him up, can i have them with the cons for a week?? and move the arow?
 
my convicts just bred for the first time and the male runs circles around my big male JD. He's a puss but still it's funny watching a fish 4 inches smaller darting all over the tank.
