Setup is a 200g fish tank stocked with 6 red hook silver dollars (very large "full grown"), a 10" tiger oscar, a 10" Vieja, a 10" or so royal pleco, and a albino BN pleco. Pretty docile oscar as far as they go in terms of aggression.
The tank has secure glass tops weighted down by lighting and covered with a wooden canopy.
Someone locally is selling a 12" or so silver arowana and I was just looking to get opinions on how experienced keepers feel it will do in my specific tank. I know the basics of silver arowana care, this post is more for opinions about interaction with my current tank mates. Fortunately its being offered inexpensively enough that if things went really poorly I could trade it into a LFS for most of the cost back, but if it has very little chance of working I wont put in the effort. Its definitely been a fish I have wanted to keep for a long time but havent because LFS only sell very small ones, which I have heard can be more difficult to raise.
