Can you guys settle this??......

When i bought my tiny Arro my son wanted some Silver Dollars,the store clerk said that we shouldnt buy the dollars because they are nippers and would nip the Arro,so i didnt buy the dollars and my son got mad.My question is was the clerk right or wrong???If you guys say it is alright then i will buy some dollars,if not i wont,thanks!!!!

I would leave the tiny aro by himself for awhile.

Well right now he is in with some small Irredesant sharks,and 2 small bala sharks,should i take the other fishies out(they have been together since last nite with no problems).

I would have told you the same. At least for a bit, until he got some size to him.

 

[Dovii dude]

I am just a bit worried that he will go nuts and try to jump out when i start netting the other fish out.

is that the aro we are talking about in your avatar? if so you may not want to get used to him having tankmates. jardinis are a bit intollerant of tankmates once they near adulthood. you have quite a while until then though. i would not add anymore fish...they are very sensitive at this size. just focus on keeping good water params and not stressing the aro.

I guess it all depends on size, but I've never had problems w/ SDs and aros.

The whole thing is that next Sunday i am getting a 210 gal tank,i wanted to add all of these fish together after i cycled the new tank,but i guess that i will keep the Aro by itself for awhile in another tank.
