How big and how old? He's awesome looking. I've got just a reg Jack myself. He's a bit of an A*@hole to my pleco, but I love him.
My little buddie is closing in on 6 inches and it has been less then a year since I got it at an inch fry size mini. Very cool ruler of its realm. It is absolute king of the tank, but shows no outward aggression to his tankmates (Since killing an uber aggressive firemouth 2" larger then it several months ago).
It was ironic, when I took the picture in my avatar, the larger firemouth mercilessly attacked, harassed and chased the EBJD constantly for over a month at first. I got so mad at it that I started to use a net to nudge the firemouth when it attacked. It was like the EBJD understood that it was the favored fish, and almost immediatly began trying to defend itself. After two days of lip locking, the smaller EBJD won the battle. A couple months later the firemouth got its comeupins!
The 7" & 8" Ctenapomas are also much happier now. As bad as the firemouth picked on the smaller EBJD it did even worse to the larger Ctens. They all seem very happy now that the trouble maker is gone!
