When I first got a good size aquarium, 135 for free from my Aunt and Uncle, I was completely against getting an Aro. They had one for a few years and my GF had one before we met. I got hooked on Aquariums and got a larger thank and was drawn to Aros. I eventually got a little silver that was killed by a slightly smaller Jardini Aro 2 months later. Currently I have a Black Aro and the Jardini and like the way the Silvers and Blacks swim back in forth in the tank as well as not bothering both the small and large tank mates. I like the appearance of the Jardini and its tenacity and love the colors of the Asian Aros. To each is own with fish and almost anything in life. Could you image if everyone liked and wanted the same fish or same things, life would be boring without any variety.
