Just wondering i have in separate tanks an black(6"), lei(6"), and jar(6.5") and was wondering if they could be in a single 125g? would the jar scrap with the black and lei? or vice versa?:confused:

The Lei and the Jar may get to a coner, and fight with each other, while the black just cruising back and forth. Just watch them closely, and separate them if thing looks bad.

125g is too small for any aro, let alone a combo....

The aros are only 6"-6.5"! :screwy: At least, read before type!

LOL yup i just asking they are not in the same tank... geez i know a 125g is GONNA be too small later but, for now a temp till i get my 360g ;) thanks jlnguyen74 i'll keep an eye on them if i decide to put them together.
 
Aggression is an obvious factor with that combo, even death. But i risked it anyway and my aro combo is going pretty smooth....some missing scales & tore fins, but no serious damage. I'm no expert but its probable, even though you might be risking a lot. So far i lost 2 jars & 3 silvers, the rtg & green never hesitate to regulate in their territory. If i were you, i would grow out the lei to have it be the dominant one as i am assuming he was the most expensive. Even though my asians killed a lot of other aros, it's good to ensure the most expensive fish. All my aros that died are the ones that jumped running from the big guys and yes i do have lids. It's good you have more then 2 so the aggression will spread amongst the 3. Best way is the method jnguyen mentioned, GOODLUCK.
 
No the lei wasn't the most expensive. The black was but, not by much maybe like around $40 more. But i'm really debating if i should or not.... I might just end up selling the jar and lei and just keep the 125 for the black idk what you guys think?
 
I would keep the Lei, as it will turn out better as an adult.

Did we read the same post? I'm sorry I didn't manage to use psychic powers to interpret "Just wondering i have in separate tanks an black(6"), lei(6"), and jar(6.5") and was wondering if they could be in a single 125g?" to mean "Just wondering i have in separate tanks an black(6"), lei(6"), and jar(6.5") and was wondering how long I could house them in a 125g until I get my 360g running?".



Any answer you get is only as good as the question you ask....
 
Dude i was just asking if they COULD be in a single 125g tank. Of course till they get alittle bigger and put them in a larger tank... Was wondering if they going fight or what. Wasn't asking if its big enough... AHH i got a headache now....:irked:

The answer is only good when it pertain to the question! And you did use your psychic power to assume that he's going to keep 3 "giant" arowana in a 125-gal tank!
