They can be together. Your going to want a large tank. Start growing out in like a 55g and go up to 125. Jaguars can get large. But not many will grow to the maximum size.

55g should be fine until both of them get around 5-8 inches. Then you will have to get a 125g minimum. You can probably get some other cichlids like a salvini or convict.

You may need one,a piece of plexi cut to size with some hole's drilled in it works nice

No you really won't unless you have Anderson pair of jaguars. Other then that they should be ok together. Occasional fighting. But they are both aggressive cichlids

Juvie 2 inch I would say like 30 gallon. Just to start growing out or 55g if available. 7+ inch 125 gallon or bigger. That would e great they would be much happier then in a 55 gallon at that size. Also if you adding more cichlids 125
