Hey guys just wondering what good, maybe pretty looking tank mates would be for a silver aro? I have a red tail cat, but hes a babyyy so he just hides all day, i want like a community haha 1 silbver aro just looks...ehhh well hes about 6" long, maybe some schooling fish? or something?
 
Grow the arowana to about 1' long and get a stingray. It's much better to have 1 or 2 big fish than a lot of schooling fish in my opinion.
 
i would recommend a clown knife. but i dought that the arowana is going to last that long, because red tail catfish is going to out grow that arowana in 6 months. there is a big probablity that you arowana is going to be about 7 inches and you catfish will probably about 6 inches by then
 
Ive had him with an Alligator gar, they are the same size the ARO is a little larger, but i woke up this morning and the gar bit him...Ive had them together for weeks and they have been fine, so i have just decided im taking the gar to the lfs today, so im going to try to trade the gar for another aro, or just sell it...
 
mine lives with the following:
8 silver dollars
2 ornates
2 delhezis
1 senegal
1 albino sen
1 giant gourami

i will be introducing an RTC and a TSN after they are in proper size to be with my silver aro, and there seems to be no aggression with his current tankmates.
 
remove the RTC b.c it will eat ur aro soon and,get bichirs,datnoids,rays
