Hello !!
I've actually a new 200 gallons tank (180cm*70cm*70cm) .
Do you think that i can put in this tank 1 sleropages jardini ( he's actually about 30 centimeters alone in my old 150*50*70 tank ) with two Osteoglossum who are about 20 centimeters ??

Thanks for your answers :) .
 
Probably not, but may work if you let the silvers or blacks establish themselves first and they don't fight and then add the jar. The tank won't work for life, though.

Does the jar currently have any tankmates?
 
it may work, if the osties were in the tank first.. just keep an eye for any sign of agression
 
thumb of the rule is intro jar at the last. But still I do see the aggression builded up in the little devil as it get too comfrtable in the tank.
 
I wouldnt do it if it was me.
In the long run your Jars gonna smoke your silvers.
