BMR Posted March 27, 2012 Author Share Posted March 27, 2012 Are they that aggressive that i would have problems with other fish ???I have a 4"2"2" tank and currently have 1 frontosa about 10cm in length. 2 Red emperas about 15cm each in length and 3 princess bacardis about 3-4cm. (hope i spelt and got there names right )I just loved the look of this fish but dont want introduce this breed if its not advised to do so.Cheers BMR Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Surtac Posted March 27, 2012 Share Posted March 27, 2012 I would keep away from the jag if I was you It will grow to around 30-35cm & eat anything that will fit in its mouth.The brichardis wouldn't last long at all.Being american the jag would require different water conditions than your other fish.

joller Posted March 27, 2012 Share Posted March 27, 2012 i agree, the jag would cause problems in the long run Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ducksta Posted March 27, 2012 Share Posted March 27, 2012 A male jag it will top out closer to 50cm in good conditions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cichlid_mafia Posted March 28, 2012 Share Posted March 28, 2012 the more aggressive type like maybe flowerhorns or something like that as link to hell said its not recommended to be housed together with the Tang's & Malawi's i would just stick to africans and ship on the jag you will have nothing but trouble if you keep them together...
