my aussie does not attack the tank mates, so i guess i will give the silver a go. picking up that bad boy tomorrow, and selling the wolf and maganese.
your going to get a silver aro? if you do be careful because the jardini and the silver aro might fight
u need a bigger tank than a 180, or plenty of fights will be in your future. u should never house more than 1 aro in a tank in my opnion. The pikes are cool. I'd say dump the wolf fish and maybe think about a 250 gallon tank...
180 for a jar alone, or a gar without the jar, cichlids, or wolf, or the cichlids and lose the jar and gar...definitely not nearly big enough for a silver though. How big is the jar? 10"-12" is when they're supposed to go crazy and become killers...
Wow...I would recommend getting rid of everything. If you are going to keep the jar look into getting a tank with at least a 72x30" footprint. Chances are the silver a gar would fight, not to mention you'd need an even larger tank to properly house the two of them.
IMO keep the Jar, grow him up a bit then upgrade to your 180 then decide to add tank mates. Your Jar should be ok in the 180 for at least a few years then upgrade to something bigger when the time comes. Also alot of ppl on these forums have large aros in a 180 gallon and alot of ppl started them in small tanks like you so there's a bit of hypocrits here about a 180gallon not being big enough...
