ah very nice but that doesnt look safe enough

 

[ettfettbranamn]

trust me, it is.. you could hit it and it will just bounce back.. do you think I'd risk anything mr Hao

Best idea is not to keep them cramped in small/over crowded tanks. TLkmDN hasn't had a problem with his aros jumping out of his uncovered pond because they have plenty of space.

Yes I don't believe in that either. It's to cruel and of course aro's will jump.

i think ,, ''dont take it the wrong way bud (ettfettbrananm)'', but if you take some of the decor out of the tank it will give the aro some room to go sideways if startled , if it gets startled it will see all the obsticles and think up is the best way to go ,, tank looks cool ,, i am picking up a black aro at the weekend so will be relying on you lot for advise etc soon ,
