I used to keep 3 Arrowhead with my Palembang and they did all get along, but they were also all juveniles and I think that makes the difference. I do not think I'd try to put my current Palembangs with my suvattii, just think it would be a bad idea. :tuttut:

There's an article in the Puffer Library about keeping Suvattis and a Palembang together. You need a large tank to make it work though. And it depends on the different specimens' temperament.
