Hi, I am the owner of a 60 cm large Red asian arowana. Now I have the possibility to buy 2 extra (1 x 50 cm and 1 x 70cm). My tank is 200 cm x 80 m x 80 cm. I am thinking of buying them and put them all 3 together in this tank.

I know it is difficult to manage an arowanacommunity tank with 3 animals.
Problem also is that I have no quarantaine tank.

Please give me some tips how to manage this.
Or is it just a risky idea?

thanks
 
I think you are asking for trouble. If they were together from juvies maybe but adding adults chances are they will fight
 
Without at least 2 other tanks available or one other tank and a divider, I wouldn't bother. If you need to pull one out, I'd be very surprised if you can manage two in one tank.

X 2!!!
 
Don't matter on the size Tank matter on the temperament of the fish usual 6 or more to get a successful com tank of aros but yet again sum ppl are unsuccessful with 6 and sum are mint with 2.
 
size of tank defintily matters! aro temperment matters as well but way more chance of success with a larger tank!
example: 3 aros in a 90gal, compared to a 500gal
 
I you have money to burn do it if not don't

I had a 9 aro com and they were always fighting

When I started to sell them the fighting got worse a 3 aro com will not work no matter what people tell you

Your main problem is you aro has been on his own for so long and won't take kindly to other aros coming into his tank
