Quick poll an 22" Aro with 12-13" Armatus??

why not?

Because it's not a good idea!

Before I vote, you make no mention of tank size. That aro is quite large, do you have the means to properly house both fish?

My tank has a lil more space than your avartar... (I like that pic)

I have a 300gl with 2pcs of driftwood in the corner, sump, FX5 and lots of space.
8x30"x2 with canopy and jump proof top (where the lids are, I have 2x4s on top that the canopy just bairly touches for slight pressure)

Someone sold you a "blue" silver arowana not so long ago, don't you forget already? I thought we've talked about this over last weekend, E. Don't risk your Armatus for just a silver arowana.



If you do a search with his name, you'll find that his tank is bigger than your tanks!

Yeah I know.... Money down the drain... a few more years of work and I should break even....
Dont know till I see the Aro... then I will make a desicion (silver or SnowWhite... dont matter... just want a large active and not so Dorado as a tankmate)

Armatus and Aro will do fine in E's 75g for years!!

I think it will... only if it is dead...

Well "quick poll", I did not have the time to research. But if you say his tank is bigger then 450g then I just take your word for it. Normally I would also ask for dimensions but it looks to be not needed.

I would say your tank is fine(pending dimensions) for an arowana, but it looks as if there are others who think this is a bad idea. Since I do not have any experience with Armatus I'll decline to give advice


Edit: 96 x 30 x 24 300g would be fine for an silver aro

Armatus dont appreciate silver fish.

If it is just a pale silver arowana and you dont mind taking a risk of him getting shanked.....go for it.

Snow white arowana? I thought snow white arowana were AKA as Platinums and extremely rare and valuable. If it were a platinum arowana - you would not want to risk it.

im highly sure that it isnt a platinum finding a platinum in SoCal would be hilarious

i wouldn't do it. not worth the risk with the armatus. and why try mixing two uncompatible fish anyways?
