Ive owned a silver in the past and he picked on everyone since he was the larget fish in the tank and he grew reallyfast. Ive been thinking about getting a jardini arowana since they dont grow as large and he wont be the largest one so Im thinking he wont pick on eveyone but ive also had people tell me thire alot more aggressive. I would like to beable to mix him with my agtf, royal ck, and 2 stingrays and maybe adding a gar. what do you guys think? will he just pick on them intill thire dead or will he not pick on them because thier all larger?
jardini arowana view?

To answer your question though: I'm not sure I'd suggest a Jardini as from what I've heard, they tend to turn into serial killers. If your silver was too aggressive I doubt you'll enjoy a Jar.

I don't think a jardini is what your looking for, you may get incredibly lucky and get a really laid back 1 but that's highly unlikely, their not to bad until they get to around a foot long then they start getting more aggressive. I have heard that banjar arows are calmer and don't get to big if you can get hold of 1? And for the gar I wouldn't recommend it personally because alligator gar just get to big for any aquarium realistically and spotted gars are nocturnal and snap at anything that comes close at night, I know that from experience, never nothing to serious but I don't recommend it. Sorry to put a downer on thing

yeah but then agen it was a long time ago and he was almost a foot larger then everyone else.
90% chance you'll pick one jardini that is angelic up to 8" and after that, it will murder all your other fish.
no im glad your giving me your oppinion in a nice way. the gar was just a thought, i not sure how they are with rays anyways but I would get the black aro since ive had pople tell me good things about them but their so much more and get larger to the point were if something gose wrong I wouldnt know were to put him and if im paying that much for him I would want to keep him but just a thought. thanks tho!

I always hear how mean jars are, but not my experience. Had him till about 20" when tank sprung a leak. The only thing he ever bit was me when feeding. Other then that you could pet him, or he would rub your arm. He was by far the largest fish in the tank. I hear Lei's are more docile. I just ordered one for that reason, but like the jars looks better.
Possibly, I have never kept a silver so I don't really know from experience but I know a lot of people keep them in big fish communities so maybe you just had an aggressive 1 but hopefully someone who has owned them can chime in, good luck
