I would like to know if it is possible to keep a few datnoids with a stingray and a sliver arowana . do i have to worry about aggression towards each other . i dont want to s[pend the money just to have them kill each other
 
Its touch and go. They will grow at diff rates so it would be best to start with adults im guessing. If you got youngfish you may have a problem when aro gets 16 inches in a year and the dats are aropund 6 to 7. But it depends on the individual fish and size of tank. Some aros wont bother any neighbors. My aro wont let anything share his tank. I have tried dats and rays. I ended up buying seperate tanks for them. All this being said, there are many ppl that keep this combo together. I cant promise it will work and i cant say it wont. Just be prepared if it they cant live together.
 
It's an experiment for sure! I have a lot of critters that people say cannot go together but are fine in my tank. This hobby can be really expensive depending on what you're trying to achieve.
 
i thinks it will work just get a datnoid that is like 5-6inches so the aro cant outgrow him to much. i had a jardini with a datnoid so i think silver will work
 
i've kept asian arrows with datnoids and rays many times with no issues, planning feeding is the key as you need to make sure enough food gets to the bottom.
