My atf is about 5 inches now and I just introduce a 10 inch black arowana, 7 inch silver arowana, datnoid, and red belly pacu.

Is he too young?

My black arowana minds his own business and I got rid of the silver because he was getting to agressive toward the black. So hopefully they will all learn to mind there own business and live together like family.
