120 cichlid community...a jag?

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
i had my jag<brutis>in a tank with a female firemouth n sarja and earth eater and redtail balck shark....all was fine for about two months....then noticed the jag trying to munch on all the named so they all got reomed yo different tanks....hes grown so quick in nearly six mnths
 
ok, iam just going to take out the jag but iam still going to get one for a 75
my stock list for a 120:
1male jd
1female gt
1male sal
2fm
2sajica
and dithers+clown pleco

think i could add 2 Thorichthys ellioti in there?

Just a heads up your Male Sal will probably kill your JD with ease. I think you will be overstocked with the Ellioti. What dithers are you planning?
 
gaint danios, redline torpedo barbs........sals arent that aggressive are they? mine one which is about 2inch is with swordtails and others??? he does mess about with the elliotis tho. but my sajicas owns him, ile get rid of him if he is there not my favourite fish.
also my JD male is quite a brute hes batterd a female gt and a green texas but both were abit smaller

Wow that is extremely overstocked! Yes Salvini are that aggressive. When he or she reaches 4"+ you'll know what I am talking about. It might not be aggressive now but that will change.
 
i herd there either aggressive or hide due to bigger, meaner fish and if "it" does hes going for sale, like my jd too much for a sal to fight with him......
 
My adult Salvini gets owned by one of my smaller JD. I have an 11 inch female jag and she doesn't bother anyone. I have had good luck when raising them together. A female JD can be a good tankmate in a 120. But with cichlids, you never know.
 
yeah iam proberly going to miss out the jag in the 120 and put him in a 75, tomorrow iam picking up my tank and its will mostly be cycled as its been running so on the way back iam going to pick 5 or 10 gaint danios. may sound like a big bio load but he had a redtailed catfish in there as a grow out.

what sounds better:
120:1jd
1gt
2fm
2sajica
maybe sal
1con
maybe 2 elliotis

or 120:
m+f jd
1 jag
1 gt
1 sal or green texas?

iam proberly going to go with 1, i think my sajicas need more room iam watching the male going ape sick cause they are protecting fry....again
