been thinking about getting a black aro to complement my 5in silver i currently own. however, i know that 2 silvers will not get along and that a jardini (for the most part) has to be the only aro in the tank after 8in or so.

but will a silver and black get along?
 
I've seen it done many times. I am actually going to do that when my 7 inch silver get about a foot.
 
its not really the kind of arowana together that can be the problem...
its the number of them together... 2 arowana rarely works as they focus all their aggression to each one, trying doing 2 silver and 1 black.
 
Blacdks together are more bickering than silvers. Silvers, on the other hand, have more powre of agression.. 2 together do not cope well.. all numbers above 3 have worked for me...

But I second David's opinion hereabove..blacks get more on the nerves of each other...:)
 
My 26" Black and 30" Silver get along fine with just some minor squabbles
