Hey playa, does ur jardini try to eat the datnoid? i had a 2.5 inch indo also, but i traded him in cause i figured he'd be too small and would become food. I would also think that the datnoid in ur profile picture would be eaten by that arowana as well. How is he doin?

the indo doing fine...he was the first addition to the tank after the Jar...he is definately not afraid of anyone 3-4 times his size! my Jar and my Dat always swim side by side, its weird...when my RTGG comes by ,the Dat scares him away from my Jar! ..best friends i'd say.


i've tried to throw in some small feeders before i added any tankmates to see if my Jar would kill/eat them...but, he didnt even care about them :screwy:...that gave me the green light on adding tankmates ;)
 
I agree with you Steve about them being aggressive and also the tank mates you suggest. I think you started a very good thread.

I found that the larger the tank the less aggressive they become.

I have only owned three ever.

I have all three still alive today. All three are 10 years or more. One is a cull that I never had the heart to destroy (He was sold as a juvenile to me as a Scleropages leichardti). He was in a chinese fish store on the top row where the clerk had to use a ladder to get him. I questioned the owner if he really was a Scleropages leichardti and he assured me he was so I took him. He was very small at about 31/2 inches and turned out to be a jardini.......oh well.

They show no aggression to any of my fish in the 15k. I believe its because they have the freedom to swim away from other fish. Neoprodigy has just put up some video of the 15k they are in. You will see them swimming in
15,000 gallon Tank Video Series #2 - 2/5. The brycons and Dorados are all
16" to 24". The other aros are Asian Red Tail Goldens and Asian Greens (22" to 26"; and Silvers (24" to 38". There are at least 15 Aros in the tank.

If you look at the 15k videos you will see the fish that are compatible with jardinis.

I also am adding a few pics now of them and tankmates.

Great pics! Tank looks awesome as always :)
 
Thanks, I'm good :) Check out those pics in the Coldwater section of that sturgeon I picked up a while back, he's still doing good on sinking pellets...I'm sure it'll end up in one of your tanks once it's out grown mine lol.

Hope everything's good with you

I should probably add some Jardini experience too...Before it's untimely death-by-snakehead, it ruthlessly attacked any top or midwater fish. THis one was 18" long.

Please give me the link.

Did you check out the video of my Wallago in the 52,000?

In one of the videos he came up and looked like he was going to eat the camera. My buddy would have had a tough time explaining that to his boss at the nuclear plant.

If he can get the remote control submarine this Spring come over and do a few laps of the big tank with it.

I've got a picture of Ad Konings and Stuart Grant playing with the sub a few years ago when they came to my house to visit. They were like 2 kids in a candy store and played with it for nearly 8 hours.

Yeah I would think the 15k of water really helps spread the aggression.

Its a shame that it isn't a practical solution for us though. :ROFL:

Great tank mate. :thumbsup:
