Upgrading soon(210 gal) here is my problem..I very much want an Arro,but i have fallen in love with my 2 sub adult O's(1 Albino and 1 Tiger)the Albino is named "Big Popi" and the tiger is Manny,and getting rid of my Xingu Pike is out of the question,also i was thinking of either getting a Clown Knife or a couple of Peacock Bass,now can these fish live toghether or is it not possible??If not what combo would you recommend??Thanks!!!:confused:
 
You could probably make it work in a bigger tank than 210 gal. With lots of filtration.

You've got tons of options for you if you get the 210 man. Get the pbass, they will work out better for you in the long run...;). Just make sure they are a little smaller than the xingu I and you should be fine! ;)

I don't see a problem either, but don't make them to small that the X1 will eat them. Being longer and narrow it would be easier for the X1 to be able to swallow a larger fish. I have seen my pikes swallow fish that I would have never thought they could.

It could work. It will likely depend on how each fish handles the next..

I have 2 Cichla 13-15 inches... A silver 22" a black 15-16" a 12" Tiger O A 9" C. Sveni And 2 13-15" Pangasius in my 250g. The balck and the silver had issues.. But I foudn the secret to resolving that after 2 weeks of Grueling LBack killing my Silver...
 
Sounds good to me man! I'd just shovel them all in and see what happens. Oscars, P bass, pike cichlids and aros are all of a similar temperament.

No kidding!! I had a Xingu 2 (wish I had that one back) that tried eating everything, including fish twice it's size!
 
Depends on the size of the CK, their body shape is a little taller. I was more worried
about the Pbass, being that they are longer and not as tall.
