opinions on keeping silver arow with scomb payara

[mos90]

right now i have them both along with some other fish in my planted 125g 6x18x22. temp 79 deg.

tankmates are
1-5" silver arow
1-3.5" scomb
1-7" bala shark
1-4" angel
1-4" upside down cat
2-3" gouramies
2-corycats few " long.
and about 12 1" snails

im less worried about the other fish then my arow and scomb. i dont think the arow will bother the scomb but what about the other way around?

right now ive only had the scomb a few days . feeding him guppies. cant verify if he is eating yet. trying to keep an eye on it. hard to count guppies, losts of places to hide.

i know tank size will become an issue sooner or later.

as far as compatibily do you think ill be ok?

aro might grow big and eat the scomb b/c scombs have really slow growth rate compared to a silver aro

i agree he will outgrow the scomb. he mostly minds his own buisness until feeding time. im more worried about the scomb taking a bite out if the arow at this point.

even thought the arow mistook my finger for food last night and went for it. might be time to try to give him some shrimp.

would adding a uv sterilizer be worth it?

In 6 months the arrow will be 3 times as long as the scomb but the problem is that the scomb will already be in then arrow's bellly.
