what is tank size? again putting aggressive SA cichlids together is not a good ideal and will not end well unless you are running a very very large tank. little guy is probably spooked ****less, just feed the pellets as usual he will snatch what he can when he can after he settles in. once he gets big his nastie attitude will set in and well, thats when things going to go south.

I have 150 gallon tank with chocolate and polleni cichlid both are about 4-5inch. Could I add a jaguar cichlid with them and what size should he be???
The Jag will be too aggressive .
I’m growing out 6 jags for a pair right now and I feed nightcrawlers , cut up tilapia and shrimp ,freeze dried brine shrimp . And the omega one carnivore frozen cubes. 2-3 times a day with a water change everyday. Mine will take pellets but Im trying to feed a higher protein diet. I will put them on pellets later when they are bigger.
A video is just a snap shot in time, unless the person did regular updates over a prolonged period of time you don't know how long that community tank lasted. I have seen a few community tanks with jags in that worked well, but these tanks where in the 500 gal range with very carefully selected tank mates. I very much doubt a chocolate would be able handle the aggression from a female jag let alone a male.
Many people would debate if a 150 gal tank is big enough for a solo male jag I think it's about border line. I think its definitely to small for a jag to be housed with anything else.
