Cichlid + Arowana = ?

Okay I'm not trying to let them mate

I keep a 10-inch tilapia in a 5-gallon tank (yes yes i know who would keep a foodfish for pet.. it's just fun to watch these fish).

I'm thinking of putting a juvenile 4-inch jardini with him, just for the meantime. Won't the tilapia whack the jardini? Will the jardini still grow to a normal size?

Thanks!

you have a 10" tilapia in a 5 gal tank? Are you joking?

please say this is a joke

I think he wants to start a fire; no one would be stupid enough to put a 10" inch fish in 5 gallon.

maybe he meant 55

thats possible i suppose

still too small

the tilapia should get that tank by itself, if not bigger.

it's true! here's a picture of it:

i'm wondering if the arowana would survive with this fish. i'm planning to transfer the arowana to my 75-gallon together with the royal knife when he's grown enough, and the 5-gallon tank would be some sort of a "nursery" tank where he could grow a bit larger.

the simple answer would be NO WAY IN HELL!!!

that tilapia would need the 75 to himself

and the jar should have no less that 180 gallons, the royal can go in there too

5 gallons is too small for ANY monster

its not even suitable for a grow out!!

guess i'll have to get rid of the tilapia. i'll cook him later.

thanks guys!
