Are you able to house the jag temporarily elsewhere, and then put him back in AFTER the Arowana? When I kept a few fish I found this solved a few problems with cichlids being so territorial as it took the edge off their aggression as THEY became the intruder rather than the territory defender. Worked a few times for me. Wink

Well gone and done it!..purchased my first aro today and he is happily swimming around with my jag as I type.Was a bit concerned at first but the jag just had a look around the aro and followed him for a bit then totally ignored it..lol..put some food in and they are both feeding well.Been a few hours and still not one sign of aggression from the Jaguar,no flaring nipping etc...really pleased.Obviously will keep an eye them still but have another tank up and running if I need to move the jag.Can't believe how calm it was..expected a little bit of aggro to start but none at all.Very pleased the aro has fed so soon too.Pics in a few days after the aro has settled.

Glad it`s gone smoothly so far. The Jag is probably chilled now after all that woman aggro! Laughing
