Oxydoras niger compatibility

Planning to house a 13" O. Niger with 5 4" VATF and an 11" African Arowana. Would these the Niger eat the Tiger Fish?

The Niger are peaceful giants. They shouldn't eat the VATF is my guess. Cheers!

I’ve had a 16”+ with a 3” Goonch, they are harmless

So everything will be ok, right? What should I feed the Niger?

Mine was a vacuum cleaner. If it was on the bottom, he would eat it.

Yep,they are not picky eaters at all.When I kept them they did well with the various sinking pellets I gave them.

Ok. Thanks for reply. It won't bother my little ATF, right? The tank is only 100x50x60cm.

Well the oxydoras niger gets around 3 feet so you will need a much, MUCH larger tank, toss in the African Arowana and Datnoids and you'll need a larger one (they get too big for that tank anyways). But the oxydoras niger is peaceful, they will not go after anything. As for what they eat, they'll eat shrimp, pellets, bloodworms, snails, tilapia fillets, scallops, worms, and other items.

Would they be ok? Worried that the Giant Trevally would kill the smallest Vitattus. I'm adding the Afro later today.

This is just my growth tank. I already have 600Gal tank ready for them when the ATF reach 8" in a couple months.
