Has anybody kept a fully grown Jardini with other Aros?

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.

Thats just asking for trouble.

Its been going for a year now with no dramas

Tank size will be upgraded soon though.

There is always the rare case of success. Not every case is asking for trouble

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.

That's an expensive feeding

I agree that not in all cases will there be problems, I was just stating the fact that with those type of fish and that size tank you are rolling the dice with aggresion. Jmo but the silver may need a bigger tank in the future.

Actually the key i find is to give them adequate swimming room but at the same time jam them up. As long as there isnt space to claim as individual terrority they normally are peaceful.

OR

Keep them all together from young. Whiich means from 6inches onwards... this will lessen their aggressivenesswhen they grow up.

That can work especialy with asian arowana's, but with jardini's this approch can have a fatal outcome.

Again keeping them from a young age can have its problems too, as you said before if there is territories established as they grow, again the results can be fatal, but you have more of a chance of keeping them together this way.
