Baby silver

[Swarsh]

Hey guys, so about to purchase a baby silver aro tomorrow.
I currently have a hb rtg so I know about aro keeping and size etc.

but my question is, this silver is around 3inch or so, should I put him on a small tank on its own or will it be ok in my 3ft grow out tank with a baby flag tail and a delhezi bichir, bichir is around 5inch and is on massivores.

Thanks guys,

Swarsh

I would put him on his own until he gets bigger because they are very fragile when small.

Yeah that was what I was thinking too.

Guess I'll do that for a while until he gets a lil bigger

bichirs and small aros equal aro flavored bichir poop. thats from expierance. small bichrs will shred them in the night.

Got the aro earlier today, put him in small tank with a bunch of guppies!

Tried feeding him bloodworms and he ate !
Whilst trying to eat the guppies too that is
