% of killers to peaceful (or tolerable) jardini

Hey Buffalo....... what's up with the big tank? You need to stop wishing and start doing.

Materials are being gathered my friend, Rome wasn't built in a day! Lol always wanted to use that, its not all that urgent anyway as all my fish are still at comfortable sizes for the 70. I was thinking my Orino would be bigger by now but he's only about 6 inch so he can still turn and eat without coming close to the sides. That's the only fish that I currently have that really needs a big tank somewhat soon. Other then him my Ornate and teugelsis are the only ones who need a larger tank ATM. Also I don't want to cheap out or discover something I should have done later so I'm taking it slow

From experience I would say jardini are almost always agressive. I had a 6" and it would punk out a foot long silver along with armored plated gars. I now have a leichartdi that is similar size and I've never had an aggression issue. I do believe jardini are prettier in color but as far as body shape and temperament lei takes the cake.

I've had a few Jar's over the years and none of them have ever been aggressive towards MOST tank mates. My current one which is around 45-50cm will tolerate all fish I put with him except Oscars for some reason :WTF:

I bought a Jardini a few years ago and put it in my 265g, which already had a silver and the silver killed the jar within a few days... never stood a chance. They were both at about the 8-10" mark, if I remember correctly.

My jar is 12" maybe a little more he tolerates existing and new tankmates now in my 3' tank but he is a reformed killer, he once took out 18 tinfoil
Barbs and 7
Silver dollars overnight at 7"

in fact it is hity or miss. i have had both..

I have had asians kill a jar in one day. it all depends on who dominates the tank and was there longer, imho.

Africans look, and are, boring, imho....
