so was wondering if i can have an 4inch ornate bichir with an 5 inch jardini arowana and a 4 inch red tail catfish in a 90 gallon
 
id be worried about the rtc as they get bigger, itll try to gobble up anything that can fit in its mouth. The jardini I wouldnt think would be a problem, i've heard they snap when they hit 8 inches though and just freak out and turn into murderers....just what ive heard though
 
yeah that jardini will turn into a KILLER but idk about with bichirs like whether opr not itll be an issue, id say just keep a close eye on them
 
What size tank will they all end up in as they grow?

I would think the RTC will try to eat the ornate eventually and the Jar may end up trying to kill him as well as it grows.
 
I know the rtc would try to eat the ornate later down the road. I couldn't tell ya about the jar since I've never personally kept one.
 
eventually your gonna need a bigger tank for the ornate, instead of the RTC you should get a smaller catfish and with the jardini i wouldnt take the risk
 
What they said^^^^
