BLACK AROS: FINALLY! now some advice:D

[henward]

oik, almost a decade, no black aros has come into my country...New Zealand.

now, there is a large possibility that it is gonna come in.

i am considering getting 4 in a 1200 litre tank.
the tank is 2400 by 80w by 62high.

i will of course grow them out before putting in this large tank..
questions:

First of all
Can i get pics posted up here of ADULT black aros.

2) should i intro all together in a grow out tank and move all together?
Or do they need to grow out separately and then move together?
3) can i just put the babies (8cm) all 4 of them into the tank and grow them up there and leave them there till they get old. froms tart to finisih?
4) are they less aggressive than other aros? can i get away with 2 or 3? what are my odds?
5) or fo that size tank, is it big enough for multiple aros or just go for one?

and anything else you want to comment on

i put my 3- 4"ers together frm the start... for me it was a bad idea, 1 got pretty beat up... so i seperated them. sometimes it all depnds on the aro itself. give it a try and watch closely... g/l

Black aros are my favorite arowana.

2-3:
I suggest you to keep them separately, the baby blacks are too fragile and week...easy to die form some wounds because fighting.

You can start to intro all together when they are reached over 20cm, this would be less risk and more safer.


4:
Blacks are less aggressive to other kind of aros but they might become aggressive to their own kind, please be careful. It is better to get 2-3 blacks in a community tank,

Even if you have 2-3 blacks together, can they still beat each other up? I had 5 and of today, there is 3 together now... Should they be separated?

i thnk i will go with 1.
to be honest the cost here plus the rarity, i dont think its worth the risk!!!
