alright so black aro it is :) keep in mind that 5 years was the MAX amount of time before the upgrade more likely it will be three to four years

Wow quick decision there. Members here on MFK have had black aros grow to 30" in just 4 years. Mine that I've had for three years has only grown 11-12" in that time and now is just 21-22" long.

So it may work or it may not.

WHOOAA hold one bro
blacks are awesome and IMO they grow slower than most arowanas!
But JARDINIs are also quite nice, they also stay way smaller and could stay in a 180 for a very long time

With discus?:eek:
 
I was just writing that lol. I kept a Black with my wild Discus with no problem.
 
yeah i know quick decision but i want a SA one because i want to keep all my fish from the same region. as for jardinis... i`ve heard nightmare after nightmare of people waking up to a single fish aquarium after having a community tank. Not to mention having the scobina rays in there which are very rare here. so yes a jardini would be nice but unfortunately they are quite hit and miss (due to their apparent aggresiveness)and i dont want to risk that with my discus or the soon to be rays. i`m thinking if a start with a tiny black aro and have it grow together with both the rays and the discus i shouldnt have any problems... or should i??? from what i`ve read black aros are not that aggressive and if i keep it together with the discus from a young age i`m hoping i wont wake up to an empty aquarium. so what do you guys think?
 
Baby blacks can be hard to raise and even harder to find. I would recommend starting with one over 6".
