Asking if i am able to comm a African Arowana with a Asian Arowana?
Currently have 1 12" African Arowana, looking to get a BBXB but am unsure if its possible.
 
Has it not been done before? :( asking as i don't wish to risk the lives of these beauties
 
Update: i bought a 5" XB and tried to introduce it into my 4x2.5x1.5 with the 12" afro. but afro was too aggressive, chasing after the XB and biting hard.. seems like its not possible..

Afro has been moved to a different tank for now

How can i comm these two now? or is it impossible? will putting a divider and letting them get used to each other's presences work? any other method?
 
Do you have a picture of your aftican arowana?

Click to expand...

I think the difference in size is one reason...and may consider adding another xb

Also maybe you can consider adding other fishes like silver dollars to distract the African aro ...

A wavemaker may also help

But again nothing is guaranteed
 
From my experience, well fed African Aro don't bother their tankmates. The ones that start fights are usually the hungry ones.
