yeah probably right.. if you're putting other stuff in just do 3

 

[Demon_fish]

sould be an awesome tank

i was told that i should wait till my silver is 5" before i add the pbass who will be 1-2". do people agree with this?

 

[cichlaguapote]

I don't have any experiance with the two together but I don't see what difference it would make unless you're making sure the yolk sack on the arrow is gone thinking the pbass would attack it?

But 1-2" pbass should be super shy.

It's up to you.

 

[Demon_fish]

nah the aro doesnt have a yolk sac it is 3" now.

well i dont kno the growth rate of the aro just make sure they are about the same! or else one may become lunch for the other!
