Has anybody kept a fully grown Jardini with other Aros?

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.

Well said..the most basic principle of keeping a comm tank of predatory fishes is supervision..supervision and more supervision.

Mine is still small around 8 inches only. So far doing well with my other much bigger aros together in the same tank.

i dont think that its possible, jardinis are too violent tempered

They can be com. Individual fish's tolerance towards the other kind is different. Some are just easy going but some are hard nut to crack.

Theres no hard and fast fact on this really....depending on individual fish..its just that jards chances of aggression can be higher than other fishes.

Yeah... All individual fishes have their own personalities and/or character. If you and your friend both have one Jardini each, your one could be a placid, docile baby while your friend's one could be a monster, whacking any fish it sees. Of course, in fish like neon tetras this usually doesn't happen, because they are naturally unaggressive. In short, you cannot say what species is the most aggressive because in each species there are usually ultra-aggressive and ultra-friendly ones. Get it?

yup, i agree with individuality as well.. it depends on individual temprement.. here in manila i've had friend who had success with a jardini with a silver arowana in the tank.. although the silver is usually bigger thant he jardini

YAY,You have my name!



It's really based on the fishies temperament.
Each has it's own personality.
Good luck.

My cichlids ate all my silvers.

Ive seen it done before aswell.

The silver was double the size of the jardini though. They were in a 6x3x2.

Like the others said, its all about the individual fish. Ive seen jardinis that kill anything yet ive seen jardinis that wont even eat feeder fish.

If you have a big enough tank , more than likely you wont have a problem. Aggresion is usually due to enviromental factors, more swimming space less agression.
