Jardini arowana tank mates

[Ryan1783]

I am soon going to get a jardini arowana and I want to know some possible tank mates for it. It will be around 2-3 inches and I am hoping to have the jardini grow up with the tank mates to limit the aggression. It is a 150 gallon but will soon upgrade to a 220. ( I already have money for it just looking for one on cregslist) I would like to keep bichirs as my grand father loves them, clown knife, and or a 2 Lima shovel nose cats.

Thanks, Ryan

What do u thank about this stocking list based on experience

Bichirs are possible. Lima is unlikely to work, won't take the beatings well. Clown knife might be able to hold its own, this will depend on the specimens.

 

[Ryan1783]

Yeah I didn't think the Lima would work.

Yea they'll be outgrown and bullied.

 

[Ryan1783]

What about if there is a lot of decor in there because I have a lot of fake plants and drift wood

 

[moe214]

Jar will likely move it

I have a 18 inch jardini and he only gets along with florida gars..I had him with a 18 inch clown knife and they fought like crazy!! But the clown did hold his own but i moved him to another tank..they were hurting each other to much..

Good luck. My jardini has beaten everything i tried putting him with.
