is the jar causin any problems? u think the tank size has more to do with jardini's being more placid n docile? my 20" jar is a punk in the 150, but im hopin for some peace n quiet in the 400. any dithers in there that helps keep agression down that you would recommend? awesome fish man, just awesome.

Hey bros ... thanks for the kind words!

Sorry just checking back to this thread now ... I'l try answer the questions below.

saw it and posted on that thread too!

thanks jarboy!!!

so what are you currently feeding your aros???

I try to feed them as varied a diet as possible and keep them fat and healthy. On a weekly basis, they get live shrimp, prawn meat, fish fillets, crickets, superworms frogs and pellets. They also sometimes get earthworms and suid fillets, but not every week.

I don't feed live fish. I think it helps with the aggression as the big guys don't see the little ones as a source of food..

Looking good. Has the tanning affected any of the other fish noticably? pbass etc

Thanks bro!

Not that I'm aware of. The coloration of all my fish is generally quite good for their individual species (blush), but I think that's due to a varied diet and the additives I use (blackwater, fresh garlic and aloe extract).

awesome fish!! how much do you feed those MONSTERS?

Thanks bro!

I've posted what i feed them above. It's difficult to post amounts because the food is all different shapes and sizes, but it's a "fairly substantial amount".

My tank is not much bigger than yours ... 6.5x2x2, ~200 gallons.

Jars are hit and miss (more often miss) ... I guess I've just been lucky. I'm not sure whether a bigger tank will help your situation. Sorry..
