anyway, if its not too much to ask, is it ok to mix the silver aro with spotted gars,or with a jardini? i was thinking of putting them together when the silver grows up, thanks in advance for any advise

how bigs your tank?

your combo of the gar and silver should be ok

it would be dicy if you mixed a gar with a jar
 
this helps me a lot, just one question, what would you say the average cost of feeding a full grown silver aro would be?

that all depends on what your feeding, how much and how often, i really cant answer that question as i dont have a full grown silver (yet ;) )


i do know if you raise one on shrimp your looking at 6 bucks a pound, now how long that last is another story :naughty:

many thanks bro :) goodluck to us with our silvers,i decided not to join him with the gars just as yet :) , as the gars diet consists of feeder fishes, just yesterday one of the gars swallowed a 3incher feeder :eek: , i'll never want that to happen to my 4inch aro. :grinno: maybe when he gets way bigger for the gars to swallow,hehehe :naughty:
 
thanks
