I have a Tigrinus catfish about 3 inch and a black arowana that is 3 inches as well. I would think to wait in till the aro was a two or three inches larger then the tig befor mixing them, but I would like to know other people's opinion. Looking for a friendly response please, thank you.
Mixing a Tigrinus with a arowana?

The aro eats 2pinhead crickets 2x a day and the tig eats a good size feeder guppies 2x a day, so I know the tig wouldn't be able to eat the aro but I just don't want him to try and then I lose both of them. But I know there eyes can be larger then thier stomach.
Yeah I think I was going to wait a little longer to fatten up the aro. But still good to know. When I do mix them I was thinking about putting them In a larger tank. Would that help at all?
That aro will be gone the first night.
Wait untill it grows. Then you will have an awesome combo.

I hope it works! I have a lei and a tig, both about 5". They are in separate tanks now, but plan on both of them going in the 240 in another 2-3 inches. One lives at the top, the other at the bottom. I believe by the time they are mixed it will be ok. heck, I am looking at a 50-75% increase in size before it happens.
Yeah, it wasn't going to happen over night but when do you think it would be ok? I was thinking when the aros Gerth is larger than the tigs mouth. What do you guys think?
