I use to have 2 silver aros at 18" with a jardini 20"
10" royal pleco 7" red dragon flower horn 10" red oscar and a rtc at 7"

Tank was peaceful fed normally silversides for the aros and pellets for the flower horn and Oscar.
one tragic day when I came home my jardini jumped out and died before I can do anything. That's where everything went downhill. My silvers started beating each other up and the flower horn and Oscar started fighting.

I removed the injured aro but at that same day my rtc got attacked and died too. Tank has been running over a year and a half with no issue until my jar died.

I came by a unresistable offer the other day with a black are at 200 at 12" and was flawless I couldn't resist.
I put the aro in the tank crossing my fingers that my silver won't attk the black. Everything backfired when my black is now dominating my silver. He Attacks him here and there and would not stop till my silver hide under my driftwood, now he doesn't go on top. Is there a way I can solve this? Should I get another aro? Should I see my silver? I really want more then one because my tank looks empty. What you guys think
 
What size/dimensions of your tank? Best bet would probably be going with just a single arowana.

300 doubt it's the tank size

No, probably not. But if you are considering a third arowana then it probably would be a good idea to have a tank that can hold all three arowana once they get to be 30".
 
at least its not the black getting beat up. i dunno.. maybe move around the decor in the tank? if there is any... feed em more??
