Jardini Arowana

[kuangze89]

Can i feed 6~10 Jardini Arowana in a same tank? Previously i plan to rear highback / super red, but its too costly... So im thinking mayb Jardini Arowana x 10 in a 8 feet tank, 250Gallon. is that possible?

Chances are that it wont work. Jardinis have a very bad reputation. Initially, if they are all juveniles it might work for some time but it wont be too long till they decide to rip each other apart. Why not try banjar reds? or greens? they are cheaper than Highbacks but even then, having an aro comm is very risky business.
Hope everything turns out good for u!

lol, jardini only cost $10 in m'sia, its not expensive haha dats why its possible to try... If only feed 1 of it, its not dat "grand", if rear it in a community its so much cooler

Anyway banjar reds? or greens? what's its real name? Red Tail arowana? Green tail arowana?

Since you are adding 10, i would try it out. Once they grow a little, 240 gallon might be little on the cramp side.

LFS has a 8ft display tank with 8 Jars. Have had them in there for a couple of years with no issues.
I'd say it's worth a go (especially for the $'s).

How big are the jardinis exactly? I find this hard to believe that the jardinis can coexist peacefully like that. Just because it worked for them, it doesn't mean it will easily work for the OP. That remains to be seen IMO.

It could work if you did soemthing similar to this aquarium in Japan. Only Jars and Lei as the Arowanas.
