henward Posted December 29, 2007 Author Report Share Posted December 29, 2007 yes all glas i dont think there s any perspex. but yes, rather large. very open to big fish! i really like the idea of aro comm tanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David R Posted December 29, 2007 Report Share Posted December 29, 2007 Thats a nice size tank! Good for the aro, and other long fish. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
henward Posted December 29, 2007 Author Report Share Posted December 29, 2007 yeah im wanting 3 aros in there, now im unsure the jadinii is rather aggressive towards large fish. anything smaller that cant fit in its mouth but doesnt seem to be a threat to food, it does not care for, but when i put larger silver dollars in there, it harasses them, nothin too serious but enough to make the silver dollars not as active. but - theory is that if you put enough big fish, the jar cannot harass them all enough, so it should be ok:D well, theory, asking over seas forums with jar comm tanks and aro comms to see if they had any experience. was thinking 2 silvers, one jar, and ther large fish in there. or myb een 3 silvers one jar the tank is big enough i think Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
henward Posted December 29, 2007 Author Report Share Posted December 29, 2007 i am leaning away from mixing aros now except silvers only every forum says that jardinii generaly will never get alongwith other aros! sad:( jardinii has to be such a grumpy bum! (grumpy bum is what my gf named that jar) noticed something different with the jar i feed it prawns and only prawns, frozen pink ooked prawns from supermarket. when i put it in there, it used to wait for it to melt, and swallow then wait awhile then eat again now i can put 7 to 9 pieces of prawns, succesivly quickly, and it will eat, swallow and eat again swallow very quickly. strange change in behaviour.
