Great tank setup. Id love to have something like that.

It's always the same. We want what we can't have. I'd kill for some azuls but I don't think there are any in the UK. I'm sure a lot of you guys in USA would love to keep asian aro's too.

They are fine with other fish. Just difficult to keep as a group. I had four but one was killed by the others in the night. I've been lucky that the remaining three get on well. Normally you would need six or more for a community to work.

It is a sacrifice to make up a comm as I lost a green when I did my aro comm too. I have the same setup as you 4 aro, 3 rays, 1 tems and 1 mono.

I just checked your video's. You have some stunning fish. What size tank is that? Looks like you could do with an upgrade now.

I am on it :). My concern now is bigger tank and aro might fight for territory.

My aro's were kept in a 2 foot divide when they were a bit younger. They actually calmed down when I gave them more space. You'll probably be okay. I'm after an 8x3 foot print for mine. Don't want it too big but want them to have space when they are big. What size tank are you planning on? Can't wait to see it.

It will be 7'x3'x2.5' plywood. Here is my setup that look like your now.
