    I have.........................

    1 silver arowana
    5 arius joradani "silver-tip sharks" rangeing from 4" to 12"
    1 blue hap
    1 stupid crayfish
    1 common pleco

    1 peacock bass
    3 senegal bichirs
    1 candy-stripe pleco

    1 red and white Ryukin
    1 calico Ryukin
    1 white common fantail
    1 butterfly pleco

    4 mollies - I breed them for food. (for my other fish not me 8O )

    I had an oscar, my big Arius Jordani beat him to death last month, right after the Arius ate all of my yellow lab cichlids... if he goes for the arowana i'm gonna be pissed

    Oh yeah I gotta betta too...

    I have never seen a candy-stripe plecostomus or a butterfly plecostomus.
    I want to see some pics.
    How big is your arowana (osteoglossum bicirrhosum)? they can get real large. They are the argentine tegu of the fish world. I had one a few years ago that would come to the top to get petted.
    And they look like they came from the jurassic period.
    As for the arius joradani, he would find a new home before I lost a arowana over him.
    Yellow lab cichlids, also run about $12.00 each here, depending on size.
    Yea I can understand why he would make you upset.

    my aro is only about 8" right now...I got him when he was like 3"
    He will definetly be outgrowing his current living conditions before long. I'm hoping to get something around 600 gal to keep him in, so he can achieve his fully 4 ft. potential 8O .

    He's got a lot of personality, I hand feed him every morning.

    I think I got the labs on sale for like $5 each, so no biggie. I was a little upset about the oscar, he was a very friendly fish :cry: . But he sealed his own fate as he was always bullying the cat fish...whoops.

    I think the arius and the aro will be fine, the aro is always topwater and the arius ussually just cruises the bottom so they don't run into each other much.

    Yea plecostomus tend to hide in the daytime, and clean all night.

    I use to have five albino Oscars they were a school until one died of a bacteria after that the biggest ate the rest. I guess he figured if one died why keep around the rest. After eating all he died of loneliness. You could tell when they were all together they swam all day unlike most that lay at the bottom. Than when big boy was alone he would just lay around at the bottom like he was depressed. Thats why I went with dry. Tanks are aloooootttttt of work depending on the species you keep and what they eat.
