I have a 15 inch black arowana, 7 inch tiger datnoid, 6 inch african tiger fish, and motoro stingray in one tank. Hoping to add a leichardti arowana when she gets a bit bigger(4 inches as of now) and maybe another black aro or silver. Just a bit worried about the leichardti.
 
Could work depending on tank size. I have no experience with ATFs though. Adding another black or silver aro could also pose a problem, pairs don't always work.
 
It might work, but you'll be needing a really big tank.
 
I was thinking of custom tank with a dimension of 60 inch x 30 inch x 22 inch tall. I just hope the Leichardti don't end up killing my collection.
 
probably wont work in that.

Agreed. Much bigger tank needed there. 60 inches is a bit too small for aro's.
Especially two of them. A bigger tank would probably work well. Good luck.
 
Dang 60 inch too small for 2? I was thinking 3 arowana either my black,lei, and another black or silver. My idea add something to build lots of current on one end so they are exercising sitting in the current lol. This won't work either?
 
May work, but better to have a bigger tank. 5 feet wouldn't be much for a group of Aros and would be murder on your bioload unless your willing to horde over plants.

Just get a 7 or 8 foot and you may be able to add more Aros. Just remember to only have one lei.

All right thanks guys. I'm only thinking of a 5ft because I might have trouble getting a 6ft upstair to my apartment.

Oi, well then you've also got the weight issue to worry about. Hate to say it, but you may want to go in another direction with fishkeeping till you can move.
