Don't ever assume!!!

So I did my research and common tank mate's for an arowana are fire eels. I've seen and heard of many being perfect tank mate's. So I got both and raised them from a young and small size. Apparently my arowana is a bit more aggressive than others. The arowana at the time was about a foot and a half long and the fire eel was quite longer. Well i came home one day to find the tail of my fire eel sticking out of my arowana mouth. Unfortunately I was too late and lost a gorgeous fire eel!

That really is sad. Sorry for your loss.

That stinks, some fish are like that. If it fits they will try to eat it.

Oh no! bad luck man, I just had the same thing happen with my BGK it got eaten by a Jewel cichlid.

Sorry to hear, that sucks. If it fits in a fish's mouth, I generally assume it will try to eat it. (sometimes- like here- they will try even if it doesn't fit)

No about 4 inches.

Sucks but these things happen sometimes. This Dorado made a full recovery, only to be killed by the other Dorados a couple weeks later
