Sorry for my weird phrasing... my african arowana was fine with poly's, gar, etc. But it did not like any other arowana species.

I'm sure you are aware of the risk of mixing a Jardini with nearly anything... you are taking a great risk to your african arowana if you mix them in the future.

It's okay. I was actually more worried about comm-ing it with the Micropeltes actually. But yes, i was aware of the risk. You wouldn't advise it huh?
 
I wouldn't personally, no.

So you're saying Afros are aggressive towards other species of fish or not? Mine's very "docile" at the moment. Hope it stays that way. Once she reaches about 10", i'll be comm-ing her in another grow-out(4x2x2) with a Jardini, couple of Albino Senegalus and a C. Micropeltes. Will be making sure they're all about the same size before i do.

definitely do not suggest this combo. jardini's do not make good tankmates and micropeltes are if anything far worse. in fact, the micropeltes will likely kill everything in the tank.

Alright, will rethink EVERYTHING.
 
Very nice little one! My African Aros is pretty chill with any fish including other Arowanas.(Not sure about another African tho but if your unlucky, you might get an aggressive African.)

nice, good shots. btw..do those grow pretty fast?
Yes. They do grow fast, but it would just depend on how your raise it(tank size,water condition,food,temp, etc).

Mine was extremely aggressive towards other Afros. Killed 2 of them in under 2 days, just wouldn't give them a rest. They couldn't feed in peace so they died.

Ah man i love afros, cool little guys

So do i. Despite they're lack of color, they're my favourite fishes.

JLSEF9;4977416; said:

Yes they do. I'd say about 1-3" per month with proper care.

They're in a 2ft tank at the moment. Water conditions at their optimum. 5 cubes of FBW a day.
