One Black and more than two Silvers

Be alright together?

Tank size will not be a problem as I will figure something out.

Thanks ahead of time for the feedback.
 
The only problem I would foresee is the growth rate of blacks and silvers are different. Other then that any of the combos you listed should be fine.

I have a pair of 25"plus silvers and a 18" black. I've been waiting quite awhile for the black to get bigger, but this aro may be the slowest grower of all time. She has only about 9" in 21 months.

My advise is to have multiple tanks so that you can seperate if any problems arise.
 
as adults they should be fine, given the size of your silvers isnt that much bigger then the black, like you said, getting the blacks first and letting them bulk up a bit should probably work, good luck with whatever you decide
 
If you start them at about the same size, th emore rapid growth of silvers should not be a problem.

Only problem ever I had with blacks was with Asians...Silvers could not care less....

Repeat =as long as they start at about the same size and in a significant quantity * say 5 aros together )
 
Ok and I am working on getting a 350g so what do you think my limit of aro's and best mixture would be? asians are out of the question :(

thanks for the information, I would rather get them all at once ya know
