Can i keep a jardini in a brackish Paludarium?

[Mr Dank YT]

im gonna make a paludarium and when i went to the fish store these archerfish grabbed my attention and i really want them now but they need brackish water, can a jardini arowana live in brackish water?

I imagine it can be slowly acclimated to the salinity required.

My only concern is it jumping out. I assume you'll have a net over the tank.

 

[Mr Dank YT]

i dont even have an arowana yet, i live in sweden so its kinda rare but yes i am gonna get a strong net ofcourse, the archerfish will also have to be slowly aclimated to brackish as they get older so that is great

I wouldn't but what is your back up plan if it isn't working out?


Also in this thread, people who have had the 2 species in one tank consider it a dicey combo.

Another interesting read on the same topic but 10 years ago.

I don't know if it's meaningful, but if I go to the Aro forum and search for Jardini and brackish, I get almost nothing going back 10 years.

My fish shop has fresh water archer fish, wouldn't that be better with the aro?
