Being european i have no idea of the measurements you tal about.

Footprint and gallonnage of tank?

Are we talking silver aros? Yes, with caution and same size. If you find a couple or 3 more in the same place of the same size chances are they are brethren. Should work, if space is assured. Have kept silvers and blacks together for years as well as asians.

Only complicated, imho, are Jardinis and Green asians, with Rtg's close following.

I don't think you can keep just 2 arowanas in that tank if you were talking about Asian arowanas but you can keep 2 silver or black arowanas at the same size.

Why?

Just putting another arowana in the tank might be a bad idea. I suggest you put a king of the bottom of the tank as well. Arowanas are aggressive towards each other... Maybe If you add another giant with them they won't fight as much. Don't quote me on this... I've only done this method 2x and both times worked. But just arowana and arowana can become an all out brawl if they turn out to be males... And don't even bother with a jardini. Almost 90% that the jardini will win. But I have had 2 arowanas in a tank before. But my tsn I feel helped out with their sense of threat.

I do not belive in pais of silvers. If more than one, 3 or 4.

I currently have a pair of silver in the same tank without a problem but I introduced them at the same time and at very small size.

 

[Miguel]

That is the way to do it.

What size are they now?

Is the OP even asking about silvers?
