Friends for Asian Arowana

[yarimochi]

Hey y'all,

What kind of tankmates are ideal for an asian arowana thats around 17cm? The tank I have is 152cmx61cmx61cm. How are these fish? Remember, I wouldnt want any harm to come to an asian arowana, and how would these fish be with eachother?:

1. Small Dat

2. Small CLown Knife (can someone tell me where to get a small one?)

3. Small fire eel

4. Small tyre track eel

(neither of the eels would be too small so the aro eats them)

5. Silver dollar

6. Small Oscar

7. Young Giant Gourami

8. Around same size silver arowana

9. Black Ghost knife

Sorry for all the questions but you gotta know these things.

Thanks Heaps,

Jamietron

Those fish will need a huge tanks when they grow

[yarimochi]

Ok Thanks what about the others?

[A.PROPHECY]

maybe stay away from oscars aswell , you would wana get more than one silver aro aswel, just to spread agression if there is any

others seem sweet , get dats that would be a nice combo 8)

mmm hmm ok, no thanks. I hate plecos of any sort. I like the idea of: 1 fire eel, 1 dat, 5 silver dollars, 1 clown knife, 2 ornates (which i already have). Does this osund Ok? WOuld everyone last 2 years growing out in that tank?

[snookie]

the Dat will not grow fast enough ,and clown and fire eel may not be good mix

[yarimochi]

hmmm, that makes it difficult. I might have to rearange ny wishlist. lets say we give up the fire eel and get a bigger dat?

[henward]

sounds good

but the clown can be aggressive as i found out

it beat the shit out of my jardinii

and jars are aggressive fish

but i guess if they grow together its ok

and if the tank is big enough

ornates are fine, silverdolalrs are fine, if anytihng the aro will pick on the silver dollars

[yarimochi]

cool

[HaNs]

Id go

Aro, medium dat, flash pleco and a large eel

Personally i found silver dollars boring

Keep in mind its harder to sell large fish than small fish

I like silver dollars! But I hate plecos, each to their own I guess. I would really like an eel with the aro but I'd rather the clown knife...

[henward]

i hate plecos too

but i have them cos they seemt o eat scraps and sift through poo

and suck the poo out o the ground in case there is left over food which is better

but, i hate plecos too

silver dollars look like piranhas, hence why i like them

if pomeranians looked like piranhas i would like them too

[snookie]

instead of silver dollars what about tinfoil barbs ?

[anthony law]

ask a question whould tinfoil barbs and silver dollars go to getter and with kirbs....

[snookie]

if you didnt have plants and a large enough tank

[yarimochi]

Exactly what I was thinking, I ike the way silver dollars are round and they reflect light beautifully.

Not my piece of cake, mmm cake.
