Arowana and butterfly carp can be mixed together, because their habits and environmental requirements are similar. For example, they all prefer a higher water temperature, and they can keep the water temperature between 25-30 ℃ during farming. Moreover, butterfly carp is not picky about food, and they can eat most foods that fish can eat, so breeders only need to feed them according to the eating habits of silver arowana. In addition, butterfly carp is similar in size to silver arowana, and their body length can reach about 100 cm in adulthood. If they are mixed with Arowana, there will be no difference in body shape.

Silver arowana can also be mixed with parrot fish, map fish, seven-star swordfish, Thai tiger fish, ray fish, flying phoenix fish, pineapple fish, etc. These kinds of fish are lively in character, and most of them live in the bottom and middle layers. If they are raised with silver arowana, there will not be too many contradictions. Moreover, these kinds of fish have strong adaptability, and their habits are similar to those of silver arowana, so breeders do not need to adjust deliberately.

When mixed with parrot fish, breeders should pay attention to adequate oxygen. Because parrot fish are born with lax lips, they need more oxygen to survive normally.
