i have a large tank 300 g 9x3x2 and want to know how many silvers i can keep in there because i letting go of my jardini for the fact he ate a tiger knife fish his size and 3 time more expensive so i have been told silver are not aggressive i was told to keep odd number like 1 3 5 just need a idea how many to order my lfs is placing a order for me today and they are ordering med size 5-7 inch for 30 bucks in the tank right now is 18inch fire eel 10 6 to 9 inch discus a florida gar and a indi
 
dimensions of the tank i would go with one though actually i would not go with any and keep your jardini
 
nvr mind good dimensions for aros i would do 3 but i would get black if you got the money your tank is actually a 405
 
i think the aro is gonna be a bit small for the tankmates. i think the gar might give you problems.
 
well they came in today and now are swimming in the tank with the gar they seem a bit small the gar is about ten inch maybe 12 they look about five inch and when i first put them in the gar was following them but kinda seemed he was just checking out what was new in the tank has not bother them sense they seem to be swimming around just fine even right pass the gars scary mouth but he has not taken a snap all but i know for a fact the are larger then his mouth what do think ?
 
IMO your tank dimensions are ok for keeping multiple Silver/black Aros but with some of your tankmates there might be a problem. Young Silver Aros at that size are very fragile and I would advise you to grow them out to at least 1ft+ before adding them with your big boys. Growing them Aros out bigger would be better.
