I'm shopping for a new tank and an arowana. My LFS can get a Silver for about 20 dollars, and a Jardini for 60. I would like to keep a few other fish with in the tank. I hear the Jardini can be started in a smaller tank because they don't grow as quickly, but they are more aggressive than the Silver....so it would need a huge tank to itself eventually. If I get a Silver and a 150 gallon tank, could my African Tiger Pike, Florida Gar and Snowflake eel be tankmates with it? Why is the Jardini three times the price of Silver? The guy at the shop is suggesting the Jardini.......but he may just want me to spend 40 more dollars....any suggestions or opinions?

silver is unique and temper is much better than jardini...
better still if u can find a pure white silver...
sure power...

Hi.... Why not try your hand on an Asian Aro....... 6" Green cost Sing$ 75.00 come with tag and cert. The blueish color is nice when fish grow older - 10" to 12".

They're federally prohibited in the US. :(

Ah yes, the "platinum" silvers are probably my favorite aros... but, as I recall that specimen cost around $50,000 USD! :grinno:
