Well im wondering what are the full list of compatible fishes to go with the arowana. I may be planning on getting a 300 gallon after I sell my 10 gallon,30 gallon and 90 gallon to my friends this weekend. I was planning ahead of times but im just kinda worried the fitting issue. Can i put 1 silver arowana with 3 peacock bass and a manguense? And their was a thought of getting a motaguense as well as the last fish in the tank. But i think its going to be way overstocked.If so i can see if i can get a larger tank than a 300 but it may be a bit longer in time for the fishes now to be in their temporary tanks.I have 3x55 gallons tanks ryt now.And ill be keeping 1 for a quaratine tank.The arowana is in a 55 alone and hes only 6 inches and the peacock basses are in a 55 alone as well as they are only 2 inches and the managuense its goin to be 3.5 inches and maybe a motaguense but unlikely.
 
well some people will say ONe of the pbass would out grow the 300 which is true but in years... i would say yes on the silver and the 3 bass b/c the silver would be ok for life in the and the bass for a couple of years... and those species tend to do good together... i mean they both come from the amazon.

as for the jaguar cichlid he might go aggro on the bass or vice versa or they will be great considering they are both aggressive cichlids... try it.

but welcome to aros
 
i am ryt now in my uncles temporary 90 gallon at his house.I got my managuense and 3 peacock basses in their and their really doing well.As for aggression the managuense never got close to them.And well after a couple of years and then ill rehome them to someone with a even bigger tank so its set.so after those years past could i add the motaguense with the arowana and managuense?
 
ive got 2 silvers approx 17 " each with to clown knifes and 6 clown loaches. still looking to add some mid tank swimmers to add color and movement. any suggestions?
