Will they eat your small fish?

[Joefish]

as the title states will they eat anything that fits in there mouth? even if they are fed well?

 

[abpositive]

What?

 

[shekes]

Depends on teh species and individual upbringing etc. I keep a black aro with discus.
I wouldn't with other type of aro.

 

[Joefish]

ok cool, was only woundering.

It also depends on the temperment of the aro. Some will be fine with smaller tank mates, but it's always a risk.

yes most probably theyll eat anything that fits on their mouth if they are hungry.
but AROs are not gluttons unlike flowerhorns... theyre more disciplined on food, they wont stuff themselve too much.

mine have all be fine with smaller fish even really small quarter size fish

My old aro use to eat anything that would fit in its mouth. But my new aro only eats pellets. Tryed some feeders and it has no interest. They have been in there for like 5 months and they just keep growing. They were tilapia fry though, not rosies, or goldfish.

as general rule of thumb

its a good idea to not keep fish that can fit in its mouth

but there are exception
