Mine is 11" and is nice and peaceful, unless he is protecting fry. When he has babies in the tank he is a psychotic, glass-banging, angry fish.

Do you think it would bother a bichir? Mines pretty chill, still young so I can always rehome if needed, but I have a baby con, dempsey, and terror in with it and it doesent try to eat any, and also a 5 inch O.

I would think you'd be ok as long the polypterus is big enough not to be eaten by the Jag or any other tankmates.

My pair are pretty good with other fish else protecting fry as mentioned above also. Sometimes I do find the odd baby con headless which I accuses the male jag off as his always hiding after a fish is headless but have never seen it mind you these fish are 1-2 inch and my male jag is 12-14 inch at a guess. The male has almost killed the female 5 times, he likes to beat her up but other fish I have never had an issue else smaller but thats kind of expected, Most of the smaller fish are fry that I have missed. He has killed my green terror 5 inch, terrors fault for trying to eat the fry apart from that his a good boy. My oscar pair will flare at him and all he does is gives them a little kiss or lip rub.
I have 2 pairs of baby jags in my 550G they are 5-6 inch + for the males the females are smaller. They dont try to fight just sit there and dig nests all day and eat they will chase fish away double - triple there size but the second another fish turns around the male will run, they do fight with the dovii pairs in the tank 2-3 I have lost count too many doviis every tank seems to have one lol but its rarely a lip locking mind you I have 2ft fish in this tank and the avg fish size is 12inch + so using these 2 jags may not the best example there are smaller fish and fish the same size as them in the tank too but its not the best example...
All in all I find jags are talked up a bit too much, sure you get the odd one thats a killer but all in all they flare lip lock and run away else the fish is smaller etc etc.
