Anyone kept Jardini Aros?

[Gyarados]

Has anyone here kept a Jardini? If so, what tank size? Any tankmates?

I'd really like to get an Aro for my new 210. I'm not really interested in Silvers which leaves me with Black/Blue, Jardini, and Leichartdi...

The aggression scale seems to go Blues>Silvers>Leis>Jars

Tankmates will be good sized IT & NTT datnoids, Flagtail and a small school of Red Hooks.

Any thoughts?

Also anyone looking for Blues should go to Beltway Aquarium immediately!!!! They have Juvis (no egg sac) for $70 bucks!!

I had a jardini a ways back. At 7", he realized he was a predator. He stalked and ripped my Congo tetras in half but didn't eat them. He took off the tale of my green terror.
On a related note, a friend who had an 18" jardini went for years without problems. One day it took a large chunk out if the disc of his motoro.

Ugh this is what I keep hearing... at even 7"!! That's the smallest I've heard to turn aggressive so far!. Did you remember if you feed him live food by chance?

Talk with Thai (Anubias). I know he currently has one in a 125.

I'll send him a pm, thanks!

No live food other than superworms. Otherwise, the only food was frozen bloodworms and pellets. Same for my friend, though he was using nightcrawlers too.
