8 inch L190 pleco
and 4 8 inch dats
kinda of want two silver arrows but i am not sure and if i could i would add a tea cup ray but banned from texas lol


so give me some feed
 
youre good unless your dimensions are like 12ft by 12 inches lol
 
Agreed you are OK unless your jar turns out to be a murderer. Sounds like you already have him though, and at 14" they're usually at the stage where they've already started killing (consensus seems to be 12" is when the killing starts).

Apparently silvers are best singly or in odd # groups from what I'm told, so 2 might not work. Stocking wise it could I suppose.
 
hmm thank for the feed the weird thing is the jar is the calm one in the tank lol i think he a sissy at time just like to eat and stay out of the way of others thank for the feed guy really helping me out so if i was to add silver arrows i would have to add a odd number then like three? lol hmm maybe i will go with a tig and something else haha thats a alot of arrows
 
Yes, either 1 or 3+, though even if you added 1 you might see aggression with the jar as it's a similar fish. It's lucky you have a peaceful jar, they are great fish but that killer reputation scares me off them. You could try a tig and 1 silver aro and see how it works maybe.
