Ideal Tank Mates

[Golden_Red_erik]

I heard many opinion about tank mates for Arowana such as Catfish, Tiger fish, and etc. Could anyone let me know what should be the best Tank Mate ??

Tankmates are in my signatures. They are staying in harmony after some trial and error.

Guys...thanks for the opinion. Appreciate it very much.
I think i will go with Cat Fish as one of my friend said this tank mate could avoid Aro from stress. Don't know either if this is true ??!!

soo many tank mate

Sometimes, my red will go after the tankmates so must have enough tankmates to rotate. Every tankmates also have their purposes:
NTT: clear away left over MP from aro;
FF: clear away algae;
Tinfoil: clear small pieces of MP which my aro chewed;
Silver Shark: bought them to replace tinfoil since they swim faster after one of my tinfoil was killed;
high-fin loaches: good at clearing everything likes leafover food and aglae.

must make sure that there is ample swimming space for all the tankmates & arowana in the tank...

try not to overcrowd the tank, increases the bioload, making it difficult to maintain good water parameters... but its good to have more than a few tankmates... just in case the arowana decides to declare war on any of them... keke...

best to have a combination of bottom, mid & surface dwellers... personally, i quite like rays, parrots, tigers & fei fengs... :rose:
