comming my 2rtg need more advice

[Sanotsuke]

their both 4" added in 1 day difference
there's a 10 " silver arrow but he ignores them.

however 2 rtg bicker over each other and wounds are appearing.

1st guy was leading
next day
2nd guy was leading

now the 1st stays in the corner of the tank near the driftwood plant corner bottom.

what i want
i was hopping to comm them together
size of tank is 5 x 2.5 x 3

tanks mates
1 10" silver
2 parrot about 4" length but fat
2 blue cichlid ( very friendly doesnt bother any fish )
2 normal pleco
1 L190 pleco 3"
5 masheer known as kelah in malay (non territorial school fish )


i was told to add 3 more simialr sizes arrows to comm them.
i was also told to seperate them
i was also told to remove the big silver and throw in 3 or 4 more silver arrow about 4" to comm them


any expert on this ?

would really help

Be able to separate them if needed. There is no other clear cut answer. However my experience is limited to just SA arowana. Silver arowana will eventually grow too big for your tank.
Good luck.

yeh i know they get really big but my tank is really big haha .. well big enough for one so probably im going to give him away.

Try add some powerheads so that it creates current in the tank so that that rtg's are busy trying to swim so that they won't fight. I heard this from a friend that this works.

 

[Sanotsuke]

wouldnt that tire out the fish ?... i also think powerhead works from another person but i just bought a 2 feet tank to grow one out before attempting it again...

The silver is going to get around 4'. He's not going to have very much room to swim in a 5' tank. And the powerhead thing is a good idea. My aro loves playing in the current and swimming against it.

I'd be wary of that Silver around your RTGs.

i had to remove one of my silvers the other one is fine...im going to try an reintroduce him later on
