Help: My Giant Gourami is hurting my silver arowana

[barnesy]

Gday guys
I currently have a 35cm Giant Gourami in a 6x2x2 with my 35cm Silver Arowana.
Lately the GG has been harrasing the silver and now he has lost a couple of scales and is hiding under the driftwood.
Obviously i want the Silver to be the show piece of my tank.

how do I stop the aggression of the GG?
does anyone use dither fish with these guys. if so what is recommended

Cheers
Barnesy

get red of the gourami. correct me if I'm wrong but aren't silver aros very expensive in Australia? that should be a reason to get rid of the GG as it would harder to replace the aro. an aro hiding under the driftwood is very bad.

sell the gourami or move him to another tank. they're a fairly aggressive species when they want to be.

You want to separate them asap if you want to keep your aro. Trust me, I speak from experience. You don't want the same thing that happened to me. Here is my thread on what my GG did to my aro: http://www.monsterfishkeepers.com/forums/showthread.php?t=188772

If you want to save your aro, seperate the GG..

Yeah,an Aro is alot better than a GG.
