Tire track eel question

[Lhop1980]

Actually, I've never seen a juvie silver aro kept with any cichla over 5-6", and the recommendation that is usually given for keeping aros with cichla is that the aro should be at least twice the length of the cichla and should not be kept with them at all until it reaches 10"+...... And btw, just because it worked out for you, does not mean there was no risk involved. I have seen (and kept) a lot of successful combinations that shouldn't have worked out, but did anyway, but would I recommend others to try any of them?... no, I wouldn't.

Bottom line is if this combo works for aro and cichla, then the same concept could be applied with the TT. My tt isn't the exception. You said yourself you assumed it wouldn't work. Your assumption was wrong. I'm not assuming. I'm actually rocking the hell out of that combo right now and have been for going on two years. Perhaps you should have just advised him to make sure that the tt is much greater in size.

Also, for the record, a 10" SA is still considered a juvie.
