Best arowana tankmate

[fishdude100]

What would be the best tankmate for a baby(5 inch) arowana?
Out of these: oscar fish, sun catfish, pictus catfish

Brian already told you in the other thread, your aro is way too small to be housed with any tankmates at this point.

Ok but wouldn't he eat the other fish if i put them in when he is bigger?

 

[HungDang]

if they can't fit in his mouth, he is not likely to eat them!

keep him alone until you have done proper research and care for him some. they are fragile fish when small.

None of the above

I saw arowanas about your arowana's size in a fish store that used to be called sherman tanks they were housed with pimedella pictus. I never actually owned an arowana but my dad did. I guess its ok. get a pictus too big for him to swallow or if he attemps to eat it the pictus is armed with twice the amount of spines and has poison on each spine in their fins.

Thats the whole point why you dont get a tankmate when you have a 5" aro

I decided not to take the risk so i am keeping him alone.
And quit accusing me of not doing my research, I have been researching since the beginning of may before actually getting him 2 weeks ago. I know how to take care of him it's just that I couldn't find a website that informed me which catfish I could keep with my aro, that's why I decided to ask you people.
