Hello all just tought id post a pic of my 6x2x1.8 tank
Tank mates are a 45cm Jardini, Approx 110 neon tetras, 5 peppermint Bristle nose catfish and 2 yo yo loachs.
These guys have been together for about 7 months now and living happy.
Guess the small fish are just to much effort for my lazy jar to eat :)
Sorry pics arnt great.

i never though about doing that.
how often do u feed him/ how much? i assume if he get hungry enough, he will start munching on the tetras.

I tried something like that with guppies and a 50cm silver, but it lasted only a couple of days, did you put the neons first and the jardini later?

that would be the same scale as putting a jardini with a great white... i think i'll try that:D.
how many jars do you think i'll need to limit aggresion? LMAO

thanks for the great comments
to answer a few questions
i will try and get a few pics of the peppermints
the jar eats white bait mulies prawns squid and blood worms. alot of it is bait from when i go fishing.
he eats every second day
i introduced 10 neons first for about a month then i put the other 100.
umm i think thats it
cheers

Looks as if the jardini was already of size, maybe just a coulpe inches shorter.

That is crazy,I would love!!!!to see updates on that combo in the future....VERY interesting!!!...indeed...I have seen plenty of interesting post's and this is a combo worth looking into...AWESOME!!! hope it works long term...my aro and clown knife wouls both get rid of those in one night....I just put a video up on them feeding with comets...I never do that type of feeding, just shrimp stuffed and soaked in foodsticks and a astazanthin soak and other little tricks I put into my my fish keeping secret vault. ;) Wow!
