I saw an australian arowana at a lfs. it was about 4" and wanted to know the care of these fish: how big they get, water chemistry, foods all that good stuff. anyways i am interesed in buying it but the people at the lfs didn't give me alot of info. also i heard they were quite a bit more aggresive than silvers. if this is true, can i keep it with 2" frontosas. any info will be appreciated.

aussie aro's are aggressive however the jardini is 1 of the most aggressive aro's in the world, deopending on the size of the aro, ur fronny's will be ok for a lil while..until the aro grows to a manture size roughly...12 inches or there bouts..they love live foods such as fish,insects,crustaceans, pellets, bloodworm/beefheart ad tubifex worms

Jardini does not go well with frontosa. i have tried this.
The frontosa was 10", and the jardini was about the same. The jardini was beating the front all the time, until the front just stod in a corner.
If you want your fronts to live do not try this.

jardini need big tank to themselves eventually although i have heard of people keeping more than one in a tank and have heard of other tankmates as well but most stories are of coming home and finding dead beat up fish and a fat jardini sotry at your onw risk but i wouldnt risk it
With all that said. I'd just have to add that Jardini are beautiful, majestic, regal fish. Too bad they are such bastards!
