Silver aro tankmates

[bigbrad73]

I have about a 5-6" silver aro. Also in the tank I have a 3 small Peacock Bass about 2" long. The silver is a real messy eater and I was thinking about getting some bala's to clean up and also just be a cool group of fish to put in there. Will they work with the Silver? Thanks

55 gallon now gettimg a 150-180 in dec

hope you upgrade even more and add bichirs like austin said

 

[peewee]

even a 180 won't be enough assuming all your current fishes will reach maturity. 300G+ would be much better.

that tank will last you the least is a year and longest is probably 1 year and 3-4 months and you will need at least 8x2.5x2
