I'm just wondering how many Asian Aro's can I house in my 450g? I changing some plans in the future as I currently have 3 silvers that will be going in there but I will probabely grow them up til I'm ready to achieve my dream goal on having

1 silver
2 greens
1 RTG
1 HBRTG

I will adopt 2 of the silvers to someone who has a large enough tank or pond for them when the time comes. Will my goal be ok in the 450? Also will there be alot of aggression with this group?

Also one day maybe my dream of getting a red will come true and house it in my 225 and he'll be the only Aro in there.
 
Anything is possible, unfortunately there is no way to say yes or no, as its up to the aggression of each fish. No matter how successful your comm is there will always be some fighting, and a few torn fins. I have found that they are easier to comm when small, once they hit 20 inches or 3 or more years age and maturity is factored in you could have a whole new set of problems. I would think that you will have some trouble with rtg's as they are normally more aggressive and with only two they could fight between them. Your tank size is adequate, however you will require a massive filtration system, a I would strongly recommend an auto water change system - 2 x 150-200 gal water change a week would be very time consuming. Best of Luck!
