i have 2 jags that have just mated in an 80g with a red bay snook and a red pike i know the snook can hold his own against the male jag the pike im not so sure i was wandering if it wouldnt be a bad idea to put him in a 30g with just a bumblebee. what do you guys think?
 
A bigger tank. Your snook could lose its jaw if it decides to lip lock and thats just way to small of a tank for all those fish.
 
ive had a snook in with dovii. he will just cover there head with his mouth lol. but i would put a divider in because he can handle the male but the female will tare his ass up while he is fighting the male. it's never 1 on 1 with a breeding pair!!!
 
The aggression from the jag pair will escalate 10 fold once the fry are free swimming. You'd better move the other fish
 
I wouldn't. Snooks get big for a 30g, and I doubt a snook can hold its own against a breeding pair of jags. Even a single male jag is too much for a snook. Snooks jaws are much weaker then jags, and they aren't as aggressive.
