hey guys, just a quick bit of info on artc stocking if you please.....
i'm thinking off picking up a artc around 10" off a friend and before i do wanted to check compatibility issues? i want it for my aro com, ive decided to mix things up and not go pure prehistoric after the disastrous weekend i had.... so i was thinking of trying aro's, gar's, 1 bowfin and artc then maybe a rtc later on? a good friend is moving to france and cant take his fish, so i have the opportunity of getting a 10" artc and he is really gorgeous too! he is fine with aro's and a rtc/tsn that he is in with at the mo.... but will he stay that way? and do you think a bowfin and gars will work with him? he doesn't like cichlids thou, but hes been fine with plecs, big barbs, cats and aros...
He is in with 18" banjar 1.5 which surprise i blaged! and the rtc/tsn thats 15" and has been so for about 5 months? so have all the group of 5 the store got in together? im guessing stunted? are they likely to grow again? store tank was 8x3x2, it was there a month then its been in my friends 8x3x3 for 4 months eating like a pig with no growth? its really odd? could this be one of the ones with the opposite parent combination and going to max around 2-3' or is it going to suddenly start to grow again? i'm very interested as its a gorgeous fish and i would love to take it on as well....
