Rays with Trigrinus and other Tankmates?

[anth.payne]

you are welcome, what iam thinking for tankmates are asain arowana , tig, fire eel, Severum, Datnioid,maybe some geos or discus and a lima catfish.

Not too keen on Lima's -although keen on getting some sort of catfish... a tigrinus hopefully

I really like severums and geophagus... nice fish

will the arowana go OK with geophagus and severum?

 

[DRgrits]

True tigrinus are not to easy to find.

yea arowana will be fine with geo and severums ,just make sure the arwoana can't eat them, what arowana are you thinking of buying.
iam thinking about getting a adult severum they always have big one at mainhead aquitces about £20 were people can't house them no more.

How about oscars? I believe I have seen pics of tanks with them together but you havent mentioned them at all.

Probably Pearl or Silver Arowana - nothing special. These seem easy to get a hold of.

By the looks of it a good setup will be a couple of severums, a couple of geos an arowana and tigrinus

don't buy a pearl arowana they are aggressive they are not good with tankmates. A silver arwoana can't live in 6x2.5x2ft for life unless you are going to upgrade, you could get a asain arowana ,much better to get a asain for that tank size. here a website about arowana http://www.freshwaterstingray.nl/Arowana/Keeping.html

here were you can buy them

I'll see how it goes - arowana's arnt particularly top of the list anyway.

Issue is - what do i add to the tank first?
