In the new aquarium room and more specifically in my 360 gallon tank I have decided to put my Black Arowana with a school of Payara. I think it is going to be wicked. Their are a couple of Oscars, a school of Red Hooks, and some larger catfish in the tank as well. When the bigger 500-700 tank I'm working towards happens I'm going to add one or two more Black Arowanas or maybe one or two high shine Silver Arowanas. Or one of each. Anyways what do you think about a Black Arowana and a school of Payara?
 
Sounds like a dream.


No experience with payara so can't really coment.
 
Dreams turn to goals and goals turn into reality which means that I'm good. I have got two Payara with him already and they eat thawed frozen prawn chunks like my Black Arowana which means feeding is essentially going to be the same.
 
Sounds like a beast tank! the payaras should look really nice in large group

Thanks!! I'm looking forward to when they Payara become adults or when all the Payara are over about 12-14 inch mark. I'm aiming for 4-6 in the school and depending on how it works out and when the big tank happens I may go with a bigger school of Payara as well as with more Arowanas.
 
Well I had a half grow Flower Horn in the tank and he killed my 2 Payara. I put him in his own tanks and am going to start building a school of Payara again in the 360 gallon. Once I tank care of some things I'm going to post pictures (New lighting and a school of Payara).
