Default Kelah as tankmate for Arowana

I am a newbie to Kelah and looking to get a few Kelahs to be the takemate for my small SHVF. Need advise on which color of Kelahs to get and the price for 4" of the Gold, red or blue.


thanks

Got many bro here keep aro and kelahs together. I have quite a few varieties of kelah.

As for comming with Aro, i think you need to try to know. Not all aros are as aggressive.

Is your aro aggressive? If it is, then add cheaper tank mates for it to chase around initially. When the aggression drops, you may add in your kelah. Kelahs are fast swimmers, most of the time they'll be able to take care of themselves.

I had 6 kelahs( 6" to 10" ) in comm with my 13" armour VFSR
all was peaceful for 2-3 weeks but 2 kelahs were badly mauled by the aro & i had to remove them.
the 2 injured kelahs hv since died from their injuries.
suggest vigilance.
