I vote the Tat gets outcompeted by the Arrows then eaten by the eel, along with everything else.......

Maybe you should get a RTC for the ultimate finish, maybe he could pull a spagetti noodle on the eel.

:ROFL:
i dont think it will get outcompeted.
but eaten?yes.

I would def say he would be outcompeted at feeding time.
Aros eat like little Pbasses and Tats are picky eaters. You starve an Aro for about 2 days, he might eat the sand (:ROFL:). Tats will starve until you "Break them off live foods". Im sure the keeper will have a certain amount of food to feed daily so I say the Tats eats dead last. Tats are not as aggressive eaters, even compared to the Juru. My old Juru, once he smelled food in the water, he was hunting and scanning. Same with the Aro, he would (still does) follow me and waits for food. My old 3 Tats would run for cover and I starved them (on off ) for about 3 months to wing them off live till All-Happy did it for me.

I think the combo would look good except for the eel

i remember us competing to see who could get them off live first.:D

i dunno.
with all my tats,when they realise its feeding time,they were usualy aggressive feeders when they needed to be.
in fact,i had pbass,aros,bichirs and a perruno cat in with one and it was usually one of the first to eat.
only outcompeted by the pbass.

I guess mine where a bunch of "Weenies":ROFL:
 
i get the horrible feeling we are stuck in a "2" glass" style thread but giving the benefit of the doubt....

....my pair of Tats get out competed by small 'peaceful' cichlids (geo's) all that you have mentioned will be far more agressive during feeding time thus not a great idea...

However, my pair are getting braver and are even trying pellet food. I say try. THey try to pick it up and quickly get bored...
