Thinking of getting a ARO but..

[Davis811]

Hello I was thinking of trying out aro's again in my set up but was wondering if it would be wise with my current fish.I am mostly worried about how the silver Aro would be with my florida spotted gar(only top dweller at the time).As well as competition for food with again my Florida spotted and with my peacock bass.Any opinion would be appreciated.

Im pretty sure 24"

Tank is too small for a aro. They will obviously grow much bigger than 24" so he wouldn't even be able to turn around.

Well my current tank isnt going to be the only one for the aros lifetime.Once it outgrowns it It will be moved to a larger tank.But I agree and appreciate your input

I dont know about that then a silvers max size is 3 feet it might become hard for the fish to turn around plus the gar...
