bettachris     Ultimate Fish Guru Posts: 3875 Kudos: 4173 Votes: 452 Registered: 13-Jun-2004   | given the right tank size, would their be a problem with a young silver and a young jardini living together. and a nother question, what is better a sliver or jardini, again given the tanksize. |

| bettachris Ultimate Fish Guru Posts: 3875 Kudos: 4173 Votes: 452 Registered: 13-Jun-2004 | no tank/fish yet. still planning. i might go with a jardin b/c of its smaller size, but a neg would be its aggression. |

| ckk125 Big Fish Posts: 320 Kudos: 285 Votes: 71 Registered: 30-Jul-2005 | ya..its virtually impossible to keep a jardini with any other fish.although the jardini is small..its recommended to keep one in at least a 150gallon tank. |

djtj Fish Master Posts: 1764 Kudos: 885 Votes: 49 Registered: 20-Feb-2003 | With a 2' fish and a 4' foot fish, both fiercely territorial, occupying the same narrow strata of a tank, you'd need an enormous system to avoid agression. I'm sure it could be done, but not in a conventional tank. I've noticed that you make very many posts about big fish. You must have a ginormous house  |

FYI, silver aros arent aggressive.they'll do fine with basically any fish which arent fin nippers and arent small enough to fit into the arowana's mouth. jardini however, is virtually impossible to mix with any fish due to it's aggression. |

| ckk125 Big Fish Posts: 320 Kudos: 285 Votes: 71 Registered: 30-Jul-2005 | parrots?its not a good idea because the parrot is territorial.u wont want to see your silver's fins get ruined by it. |

| bettachris Ultimate Fish Guru Posts: 3875 Kudos: 4173 Votes: 452 Registered: 13-Jun-2004 | i think it will all right, depending on the size of the silver. but if their are any problems the arowana would probably be moved into a holding tank untill a decision can be made. |
