just wondering if anyone tried this i have been leaning more towards blood parrots or maybe both i have four dats and three silver arrows already and everyone it telling me that Frontosa work with dats also have a gar and bichir and fire eel and clown knife any tips and i have a huge tank it 300 g so i have room
 
not too much room with 3 silvers... but I have a frontosa pair with my 12" aro.. no problems. The little female stretches out her fins whenever my aro gets close to her, its rather comical. She's just under 4".
 
I keep a colony of kigoma fronts 4f/2m with my 24" silver. Tank is 190g. Also keep a 7" NGT dat in same tank. My stocking is quite odd, but it works well. Fish stay on bottom half of tank, aro stays at the top.

I grew my fronts out 4 years before adding small aro. Got lots of bioload on this tank, so heavy filtration is a must. I run FX5, 2x AC110s, and 55g wet/dry sump. 30-40% waterchange once a week. ph is neutral.

I looked at your title thread and immeditaly thought WRONG...The arrowana and Frontosa are fom totally different water types.....The Frontosa is from Africa and the Arrow is from South America........That is not to say both have been kept together, but I personally prefer the two biotopes seperate.........

:naughty:
 
i see glad to here some one has done this so about how many would i be looking to get the dats are about 4 inchs and the arows about six inchs also knife is about 8 gar is abot 10 inchs same for bichir and has anyone tried blood parrots?
