Thats why flagtail, simonL, and I and a whole other bunch of people have gotten 2 to work right?

Damn Gshock, what two asians do you have in the same tank? Any pictures?

That's pretty awesome.

I had tried 2 pairs of greens. The first pair died like a year later when my house blacked out during the winter. The second pair lasted for like 2-3 years until i sold them to make space for some rays. Forget about pairs, I no longer even have aros lol.
 
from my own experience, i find my RTG to be more aggressive than my red. my 18" red mostly only picks on the second biggest fish in its tank, while my baby RTG attacks everyone.
 
Thanks for the replies everyone. I hope that the RTG that I get will play nice. If not, might have to sell the thing. =[

Thanks Knowdafish!

I want to keep them with some SA eartheaters, stingrays and datnoids,

That's how I keep my RTG. Add in a bichir and some pbass as well. :)

The RTG is king of the tank. He's destroyed two 15" occelaris pbass and really didn't like the odoe pike I had tried to introduce.

Overall, the RTG doesn't care about the tigers or the eartheaters or the stingrays.
 
i have to go with the flow my HBRTG is a fair bully towards a bigger Xback (even catching up in size). not sure about the green cos my green is fairly wussy as far as aros go. red is fairly mean as well though it never truely trashed anyone yet (at least not too my knowledge). good luck

PS: i am also not pro two aros in the same tank. ime aros tend to pick on their own kind i.e silvers on silvers and asians on asians. never seen them attack others

Will I be able to put in an RTG with a couple of Black Arowana? =]

That would be pretty awesome.
 
My red tail golds are fine with any other fish. I had four together for a while then the other night one of them got beat up pretty bad. A couple of days later he died. The remaining three don't seem to be fighting.
 
im in toronto too btw bro
oh and my hbrtg is the king and he can be aggressive when he wants too
