i have my tank still up and then thers 4 D PULCHERS ATF and TANGANIKYAN PERCH and 3BALA SHARKS. all around 2-4 inches so i was thinkin of throwin in a 3 inch jardini. cuz i had a 4 inch one be4 but i traded it. and i know this is test and trial but then u think i have enough fish for it to be calm in the tank? and this is in a 100 gal
 
Once again,

Try it at your own risk. All hell could break loose, or it could be fine.

You might be able to do it while they are at these sizes but it could get nasty once they grow up. I personally wouldnt be risking it with those fish.

Inparticular those pulchers.
 
yeah i heard jardini's get nastier the older they get so even if you manage to keep them together as juvies, things might get rough when they get big ;)
 
Jardini's from my knowledge and my aro's are alot more aggressive than silver's...i would be careful.
 
becareful and try if u need to... but dont say we ddint warn u

I think it's a bad gamble, it would terrible to lose the cool collection you already have. Though I have seen 5 silver aros living with a jardini in what looks like peace.
 
i asked the same question before. and everone said just tor try it. so i did.

the 72 gal tank i had
2 plecoes, 1 rainbow shark, 2 columbian sharks, 5 gold fish and 3 clown laochs. well anyways i put the arowana in there. and watched. the columbians were actually thinking of eating it. so i took them out. and now the arowana lives happly with everything. im hopping it'll grow with the fish and no eat them later on. but we'll see. as long as their ok now.

i'll put it in a bigger tank later on anyways.

good luck with yours!
