Gambier Posted April 21, 2014 Share Posted April 21, 2014 Hi all,Just joined the forum.Lost my Favourite fish today. My 31cm Jag. He has been getting beaten up by my 35cm Red devil lately and i had him in another tank to give him a rest and let him heal for a while. Went to feed him this morning and found himon the floor. Still breathing but he didnt pull through. Pretty gutted.But now the question is what to replace him with. Need something big enoiugh to stand up to my devil. Hes too big and nice looking to get rid of. Was thinking maybe a pair of something. Ive always wanted a massive jag and cant get past it. Thinking either jags or festae. Either way it could end up disastrous.Any other ideas? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yellow Posted April 21, 2014 Share Posted April 21, 2014 Nothing. It will kill whatever you put in with it, or be killed by whatever you put in with it.My advice: enjoy the devil. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BonnieBoy Posted April 21, 2014 Share Posted April 21, 2014 The Devil is the alpha inhabitant. Any additions, whether larger or around the same size will get the same treatment as your dearly departed Jag. Enjoy your Devil. Allow this fish to grow to max potential AND most of all enjoy it for what it is . A really hard buM aggressive beast. It has been hard wired that way by millions of years of evolution and nothing nor anyone can change that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Foti Posted April 21, 2014 Share Posted April 21, 2014 If it's a male add a female!Maybe get some enjoyment in them breeding Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Link2Hell Posted April 22, 2014 Share Posted April 22, 2014 only options would be Dovii or Umbriferum but they would needto be a similar sizeyou would need to take the devil out for a while and change thetank structure but even after all of this it will most likely endwith some one getting killed or badly beatenif you added a female devil you would need a partition Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gambier Posted April 22, 2014 Author Share Posted April 22, 2014 question, If i got rid o f the devil, and got a pair of jags. would they go in a tank with maybe a texas a pleco and some bristlenose?would they survive?Just weighing up my options.

southcoastbrad Posted April 22, 2014 Share Posted April 22, 2014 As link2hell said, dovii or umbee, there's a 35cm dovii and a 30 cm pair of jags for sale on gumtree at penrith atm, but its a risk with the jags, I think the same thing would happen, but the dovii will be fine.

Gambier Posted April 23, 2014 Author Share Posted April 23, 2014 yea i saw those jags and emailed the guy but havent heard back. I'm kind of leaning towards them. But not sure what to do with my devil. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
