how well are they with aros ? and if the aros are bigger ?
 
You could be a little more detailed with your question.

Many have found knifefish to be bothersome of SA arowana during the night. Mixing knifes with jardini will generally be bad for the knife. Considering the size both can grow a multi-hundred gallon tank is needed.
 
...okay im asking about them being good tankmates...and i no how big it gets as of now he is about 10 inch and the aros are around 15 inch. they are in a 125g right now. thnx. and i have pleanty room for them when they need upgrade. any one els ????
 
Why so defensive? Sorry I did not know you had such a huge tank.
 
generally speaking they will be okay but there will be some aggression. I worry about the aro's tail - my clown knife proved my wrong when I thought it couldn't take bites in chunks!
 
not defensive. its just i hate people on this site who always tell people to upgrade up stuff n critisize. sry
 
I've had the combo before. Seemed fine...never had issues with one another. The combo seems to be a trial and error thing.

So where in this thread have you been criticized or told to upgrade? You provide very little info about your set up, size, arowana species or any other info. I was just giving you as much info based on what you asked.

Looks to me that your defensive because you already know that the tank you have your arowana in is quickly becoming too small, not cause someone told you to upgrade.

BTW I was being sarcastic your tank is not huge and is becoming much smaller by the day. Adding another fish (especially nocturnal) into your current tank could lead to disaster for your arowana.
 
i would think they would be fine... i have a 18inch aro and a 13 to 14 inch clown knife with no problem.. they have been tank mates since the aro was about 8 inch and the clown knife 5 to 6... what does the knife eat? if it is on feeder fish it might be more aggressive.. mine is on pellets and krill so he is fairly tame..
