I was wondering if i can raise both baby aros in the same tank and im putting them in @ the same time.

Or should i separate the 2 and wait til they get a little bigger but around the same size, THEN join the 2?

Wen they get bigger, will they fight and kill each other? Cuz i wana raise both but im afraid of the risk and possibilities.

Has anyone ever tried what im trying to do? Or successfully raised the 2 in the same tank?
 
Wow 20 mins! You need less caffiene. What size tank and fish? Second if I am thinking correctly you are asking about the aust one that gets nasty around the 8" mark which changes everything.

IMO if this will ever work you MUST do it EARLY or not at all... A jar is generally much less aggressive when under the 7-10" mark(See the Jardini tank mates sticky for further details) Your only real chance is growing them from the smallest size you can get them, say 3-4" probably.... The silver should grow much faster which is good because it will need size in order to tolerate the Jardinis territorial nature. but the silver can't tower over the Jar to much as to which it sees the young aro as food. Some will say not to try it all others will say go for it. In the end if you really want this stock then it's up to you to decide, it is possible but there is a good chance that it will be doomed. Best of luck and welcome to the club:D:headbang2

Just know a 55 will only last a little while.

yeah like 4 months!!

actually let me just say that wouldnt work at this size bby silvers are way to fragile to be with tank mates that are as aggressive as jars i think you should wait till they get to be atleast 10+" to be joined into a tank!
