Hey guys, I’ve recently been eyeing an 11” Jardini at my LFS. I intend to put him in my 1000 gallon pond with a fully grown red eared slider, a 16” alligator gar, a 13” NGT Tiger, a 2’ Tilapia, about 5 Parrot Cichlids, and a 11” PB. I’ve kept a 9” silver arowana in the pond before and none of my fish have had problems with him, all of my fish (including the gar and the NGT) are relatively docile. I’m more concerned about the Jardini though, I’ve heard tales of Jardinis being extremely aggressive towards other fish, though the Jardini in question was being kept in a rather overcrowded 5 feet tank with about 8 other silver arowanas, about 5 peacock bass, a few other fish and 2 other smaller jardinis, all around the same size range. Should he be fine in my pond or nah?

edit: here’s the Jardini in question

Tbh know one can really give you a concrete answer. The Jardini may become aggressive in your pond or the Alligator Gar may attack the Jardini. Like I stated earlier just a assumption.
