peacock bass and arowanas

[dunga]

[rob0521]

[dunga]

plenty do fine alone, but these more amuseing in groups, larger ones will eat smaller ones as with most fish. if you do a group keep them all the same size or close to it.

as long they are same size,that will be OK..both are predator, isn't common sense..predator are not picky on their prey..good luck

I'm seen loads of examples of this and they all work. I'm hoping to keep my bass and arowana together soon when they are big enough.

So either way they are better? That doesn't make sense. Pbass and aros are fine. Either one could end up being more aggressive and hurting the other. I have a 30" silver with 10-17" pbass. He grabs them sometimes while feeding, but doesn't mess with them at all otherwise.

all fish can get aggressive when feeding even guppys

I keep pbass with aros. 3 7-9" monos with a 14" silver.

As long as the arowana isn't a Jardini I think you'll be fine.
