Communal Living

So many aros, so few tanks. The only option for us is to have a comm tank of arowanas. However, arowanas are very territorial fishes and they dislike their own kind. Having 3 or more arowanas in the tank reduces the likelihood that one weak individual will be overtly targetted. Many have tried and failed, I am no exception as time will tell.

There is no denying that watching a community or arowanas swimming toghether is mesmerizing and inspiring. For this comm project, we placed Spartacus and the 3 redlings together and kept our fingers crossed, however as they grew, more fights broke out.

Below is a picture of the 4 reds together. :)
