I have a close to 7 inch female jag housed with two small cats a pleco and a small pacu. I have what Petsmart sold me as a red Texas that's about 4 inches now and he's in my 20g grow out and was wondering if he would be safe with the the jag

How big is the other tank? I think it comes down to size of the tank and temperment of the jag. If in fact it is a texas I hear they are quite tough.
 
All depends on the fish. Some fish are more aggressive than others in the same species. Seems a little too small but it may work. I would try it, but be very watchful during the first few hours and be ready to take it out if the jag goes after it. I had an 8" jag beat the crap out of a 5" RTC once so they can be very aggressive.
 
I have a 5" texas... and he is a mean little sucker! Holds his own very well with 2 10"+ oscars and a 12" gar in a 180. I'd try it and watch it carefully.
 
I wouldn't.
 
the longer the jag owns the tank,the less chance of it working.but if it were me i would divide the tank,then they could experience each other.then plan to upgrade the tank soon.the jag will outgrow the 70 fast.when you upgrade they can go in as all new.50-50 shot of working
