Came across this while searching around the net. Kinda interesting, I dont know if its good or not, I didnt really check it out too much. You enter a fish, then it generates a compatible fish for it. You can check it out here:

I think it may be a bit off.. i searched for what are compatible with Silver Arowanas and this is what it said..

"Search Results: The Silver Arowana should be kept in groups of not more than pairs and is compatible with the Featherfin Squeaker, Green Terror, Iridescent Shark, Jack Dempsey, Texas Cichlid, Tinfoil Barb"

Now its a wide known fact that if you chose to keep more than 1 aro (any type) you should have at least 3!

and how come theres no peacock bass/cichla to choose from????

Yeah I know, I just found that out. They dont have a whole lot of fish species listed. Also, sometimes there is some mistakes with results. Hahaha, I jsut checked to see if guppies are compatible with Midas Cichlid and it said no. Hahaha

no red devils?

Midas cichlid is about as close you can get

You have to admit though nothing is perfect. We can only try the best that we could to benefit everyone.

Yeah, some of these matches are based on difference of opinion. Example, Oscar and Red Devil. Some would say its alright and some say no. But for the most part, soemthing like matching a guppy with an oscar is clearly uncompatible.

I think it's a neat idea if it worked a little better.

i have used this a while ago before coming on this forum and while its ok its still not overly accurate. fine for the small and commonly kept fish like guppies, swordtails etc.

I ran into this a long time ago when starting into hobby and found it nothing but a general idea. I would research further its suggestions and found a ton of contradictions so I really don't trust it. But it was useful when starting cause it gave me research parameters as opposed to reading insane amounts of useless info I could already start reducing it down to more digestable content.
