They seem to be doing fine together, but i have noticed that they do get alot more aggreesive when they passed 12 inches..
my tank is 120 gallon for now, waitin for christmas sale, then 210g..lol.



they get even more aggresive after 18" and even more after 24".



i really hope it works out for you , my money is on the aro being eaten before two foot , but i would really love to be proven wrong , as i have yet to see anyone sucsessfully house micros 24" or over with any thing else.


on a side note , have you measured the fish correctly , i only ask because at 18" i would expect to see the adult colouration much more advanced than that. if they are trully 18" then they are going to be huge when adult and the 210gal would be not big enough , i would go bigger now to save money in the future. the other reason i ask is because i am trying to find the average size that micros take on the full adult colouration. i have had a couple that have been fully transformed by 18" and many that have been well into the change period by 18" (somewhere near compleate) yet yours are showing very little change at the moment , is there anyway you can take a pic near a tape measure for me ? its not that i am doubting you at all , but for study purposes i can only used confirmed sizes ect. if you can it would be very much aprechiated, i would also like to know your tanks perameters is you know them



cheers col
 
looking good. dude, ur aro's way too nice looking to be experimented with. try and separate it from the channas. If you like it a lot (I can see that you do) then you should not experiment with two sets of nasty teeth in front of ill tempered heads.

GOOD LUCK
 
I see a dead aro in the near future.
BUT, an awesome combo, in any case! Hope it works
 
i will try to take some more pics with tape measure,
well i really hope the silver aro can hang in there.
i am feeding the aro as much as i can, and as less as i can for the micropeltes. lol
bought them 3-4 months ago, they were 4-5 inches...l

hmm, so u're feeding micros as less as u can... so u're leaving them hungry ? I wonder what they'll do .. . .. . just kidding.

hope it stays peaceful like this always
