Hey guys i was wondering if it would be ok to put a 6" arapaima gigas with a 4" peacock bass and a 2" Indo datnoid all in a 30 gallon tank?? Will they have any problems?? Yes i am VERY aware that a 30 gallon is a temporary tank for the arapaima!! Please no hate! Thanks a lot! :)
 
Got some expensive snacks :) the peacocks might be able to escape the terror though

the arapaima will probably eat both. also will probably out grow a 30 in a few weeks so unless you have a 5,000+ gallon tank or a pond i wouldnt do it. personally i wouldnt put em in nothing less then 100 gallons even at that small.
 
Hmm I think I remeber my mom saying "if you don't have anything nice to say don't say anything at all"

Yup I won't say anything at all.

I just created a thread that has a video and pix of an Amazon exhibit at a local public aquaria.

There are three Arapaima in the tank. Tankmates are as follows:

Pacu, Indo Tarpon, Arowana, Niger Cat, Redtail Catfish and some Leporinus and Severums that I'm sure end up as snacks from time to time.

The tank is a little bigger than yours...100,000 gallons.

Good Luck!
