hi all sifu here
i am new to arowana hobby
hopping to set up a new tank for my arowana
i heard difficult to keep 2 arowana in a 5x2.5x2 tank as they may fight

if u can comm 2 aro u are really lucky. never heard or seen any special set up for 2 aro. usually people comm 3 aro at least. but 5 is a good number of aro to comm for your tank

No matter what kind of stepup or how big tank usually comm fishes will fight, it's only whether will small fight or big fight. Try to keep odd number of fishes better also good for fengshui as some ppl says... Haha..

bro, no offence but just prepare for some "heartpain" moments of broken fins, tails and scales.

Odd number better or even number better???

So any master fengshui sifu here can advise?

fengshui depends on the individual and location, no single advice can suit all..

Just comm my 4 Aro in 522 tank last week.

From my beginner experience & observation from my comm tank, I personally think min 3 Aro with size from 6' to 8' should be fine.

Light also a factor that cause Aro to fight. Once I on the tanning light the Aro stop fight, when I off the light they started to fight again that where I started to on the wave maker during night time.

At first you might find few drop scales & tear fins. I guess that is normal. Nothing serious they will grow back like new in no time.

Like many ppls say once you started Aro Comm there is no turning back. Love the tank so much you can't stop looking at them...

Happy Coming & enjoy

normally hear of ppl keeping 5 cos dragon is the 5th on the chinese zodiac... 7 cos lucky number, 9 cos like those drawings of koi, 13, 19, 21... all got reason one lar... depends on how big your tank is...
