Asian aro in a heavily planted tank.... anyone done this?

[henward]

My red aro bites and destroys plants..... Every time, Every type of plant.
so no hope there
is this a general arowana trait?
or is there hope for a planted tank, simple, very low laying driftwood, but plenty of plants.
Is it a natural arowana instict to rip up plants?

or is it like if they wre trained from a young age to accept plants then they wont destroy?

I am not sure if that is a normal trait or not, but I have noticed that a lot of aro keepers have large anubias in their tanks.

Mine isnt as heavily planted as that one in the vid but there are plants in there which for the most part he leaves alone,its the dat that keeps chewing bits off!

ive seen it, but then again that aro had rosy barb tankmates too so idk about how legitimate it is
