Silver arowana

Hey guys just wondering how many AROWS can one have in one tank and
what other tank mate would also do well with them

 

What is the size of the tank???

 

6 foot 800l

 

1 only 2 at a squeeze

 

i Would only keep one in a 6 foot with 2 in they will fight and rip each other to bits i have one in my 6ft with a clown knife and they get along fine. Remember that they can grow to 1 meter plus not fair to keep two in a 6 foot tank.

 

As a rule, always try to keep one arowana to a tank. Most people here don't have the space for even one - two is pushy and quite frankly, cruel.

As youngsters, they can get along ok, especially in larger tanks. However, adults can and will scrap with each other, although this does depend on the induvidual specimen(s).

It's best to keep any larger growing, non-aggressive species with them, especially those that like to hang around the lower levels of the tank. Clown knifefish work great, as do tiger shovelnoses. Larger plecs are also a good option, as they will help a little bit with tank maintainence.

 

what about oscars

 

Oscars can work, but I urge, do so with caution. I lost my Silver arowana to my oscars, so you see why I'm saying you should be careful. Some oscars are fairly docile, but ultimately there is a risk.

 

Oscars a BIG NO i also lost my first arrowana to my Oscars, they literally ate him alive over night.

 

cool so ill just keep my arow with the knife fish them. got two clown with him at the moment just waiting for my white ghost to be delivered should arrive tomorrow.
CANT WAIT... lol

 

White ghost?

 

all i found on that is white ghost pipe fish (marine) and white ghost shrimp?

 

There has been Albino and Leucistic BGKs, but they aren't very common, or cheap for that matter.
