Will this silver aro be eaten?

[henward]

Hello all
I have a 6 inch silver aro
if i mix that in a tank with 2 large dats
dats are 30-35 cms...more than 1' long. I see when they yawn and stretch their mouths that it extends way beyond their face, assuming these things can grab and swallow big things.

will this 6" silver aro get eated?

currenly there is a 7 to 8 inch RCK in with the dats

I have never seen my large tigers attempt to attack or swallow any of my smaller fish.

What kind of girth has the silver got? If it is still very slender I personally wouldn't risk it.

 

[henward]

the thickest part, its belly is just an inch as most.
its 6 inches long. still a baby
the dats dont attack anything at all that i can see - they seem pretty placid, i mean they are double the size and the jardinii bullies them

 

[theheffners]

its ultimately up to you but i would wait just incase.

 

[henward]

yeah
think ill wait
maybe 1 or more inches
should be able to get that in 1 month by feeding heaps

 

[channarox]

maybe til hes 8 inches.
although personally,i'd just try.
unless the dats are aggressive.

Nah... Not worth the risk. Dat can really stretch their mouth if you know what I mean.

 

[henward]

no not at all, dats are rather placid
but yeah, maybe not worth the risk
ill try when the silver is little bit bigger
i am very tempted to try though
so i can consolidate that fish, put the canister filter in the silver aro tank ino the dats tank
