New proud owner

[Adam Langley]

Hello everyone, Having read a lot of post on here to get advise I have finally become a proud owner of 2 High Back Red Tails. I've had them for 2 days and they are settling in nicely. One is 6" the other 7". Trying to get them in the same shot is almost impossible. lol. At the moment I have them in a 4x2x2 but am planning a "King of DIY fishkeeper" joey plywood build of 6x3x3. Thanks to all for advise and ideas on this super cool site.

Asian Aro's! By far my favorite aquatic creatures other then mermaids, but they don't exist. Now put them in a box, and send them my way, your tank is too small, Adam. Jk bro....very nice aro!

Cheers Jim... Did try cutting them up, maybe need to be smaller. I got some silent crickets today. They really small, they scoffed the lot..

Unless you bought them already working as a functional "pair" the odds are against the two of them working out longer term. I'd work on a back up plan if/when the dominant one begins to attack the weaker one. If you search the data base at www.arowanaclub.ca I think you can find one case where an owner was successful with a two-Asian arowana set up. Usually it does not work.
