I just upgraded my filter. It is ready for a new tank. I'm wondering if I can add an aba aba in my 5' x 1.5' x 3' tank or 169 gallon tank. It is really my dream fish. Stocklist is 2 giant gouramis 10", 1 silver arowana 16", 1 ornate bichir and 1 endli at 10" and 1 senegal 8".
 
oops new fish
 
You know they can grow to 5 feet right? I say no, starting tank would be 300 gallons and you have allot of other large fish already.

Probably not.

Aba aba's are pretty vicious, though I suppose it's been done

Wow! fast reply. Thank you for the opinion. So I won't add anymore. Haha, I still didn't bought it.
 
haha, i used to keep my aba aba with datnoids, florida gars, TSNs, a fire eel and some bichirs, and a marble goby and did pretty well, haha.
aba was ard 7" during that time if i wasnt wrong, but i had a pretty large number of hiding crevices and stuff so they each had their own hiding places lol.
probably the personality of some fishes, mine is pretty calm lol. only gets aggressive during feeding (MP) :popcorn:
BUT STILL. i will be going to isolate him to be alone, so yeah. haha, just my 2 cents worth...

What are the dimensions of your tank
 
Yup but there may be a posibility of an aba aba to be like King-El's aba aba thats why I was hoping. Thank you :D
