Has anybody kept a fully grown Jardini with other Aros?

[angeladay]

I was wondering if anyone has successfully comm tanked Jardini with other aro tankmates. Right now, my 6" Jardini has been trouble free in my tank with 13" Silver and few other Cichlids and Silver Dollars.

So anybody out there with a success story? I have a feeling that my comm will work out.

You could have a few problems as they get bigger, jardini's can get pretty aggresive more so than a silver arowana. It will also depend on the size of the tank.

Jardinis are mean sobs. I have seen it done by some aro community keepers
but its all about luck and the individual personality of the jardini. They get crazy
and try to bit everything in sight once they hit the 13" + mark. Tank size is a big factor too.

I used to have one which is a crazy bugger. Kills the excess feeders even when it is too full to eat anymore. Zero tankmates as it killed all the tankmates which it grew up with.

I never tried anymore Jardini after that.

But I have heard stories about Jardini being an extreme coward as well. So my guess is that they are the extremist. Either crazily aggressive, or supoer cowardly.

When it comes to setting up a community tank..there is always a little luck involved to determine success or not. Each individual fish does have its own temperament and how well it wants to establish its territory in the tank...

I have see killer Jards before..and also, I have owned one that is literally minds its own business...

so, good luck..as I said b4..you wont know unless u try it out

Agree. I have 2 as well. ! minds in own business whereas the other is a mean machine. Has since isolated him from the rest.

Luck is ever important in a Comm. Like bro, RockyGoldy mentioned, "you wont know unless u try it out"

Its all about trial and error

I've never kept S. jardini before, but I have been told jardinis are more aggressive than other arowanas, so it would be wise to keep a close eye on the tank occupants, lest they get beaten up by the jardini.
