I have a 1000 Gallon aquarium that I was wanting to stock with Peacock Bass, but I am not able to get them in my area for anything that isn't absurdly expensive. I already have a 7" Silver Arowana enjoying itself in the aquarium, so I'm looking for something that can be compatible with Silver Arowana.
I don't want anything aggressive that will attack fish of similar size to itself, and I don't want fish that exceed 3 feet in maximum length. My Silver is going to be my largest fish in this aquarium.
I had some ideas of my own:
Red Belly Pacu
I thought about them, because I can get them anywhere for relatively cheap. Though I am concerned about their aggression. I'm not sure just how aggressive they are, since I have heard about how aggressively Black Pacu feed.
Largemouth Bass
I've already looked up my state laws for keeping Largemouth and even talked to the DNR, I know how to keep them without getting fined or breaking the law. The main thing keeping me away from Largemouth is their appetite. They only get about 29" max length which is fine, but they eat so much, and I'm worried it could eat my 10"-12" Severums.
Oscars
I like Oscars but not really their aggression. Their aggression is very mild compared to other fish I have kept, but even still I don't want my Oscars attacking my Pictus Catfish, my Severums or my Bichir (If I get those.)
I'm still on the fence about them.
If you guys have any other suggestions, I just cannot think of any. I'm looking for anything that doesn't get over 36" in length, won't put the lives of my Severums in jeopardy, isn't very expensive, and isn't very aggressive.
Also do you think my Silver Arowana will be a problem for my Severums? The tank I have is 4 feet deep and the Severums stay at the bottom most of the time. Also my Severums have lots of hiding places, and my fish are fed a varied and good diet for each individual fish.
Also I already have a Florida Gar and don't want any more Gar since the one I have is my favorite ever and I don't need another.
