Got my new jardini today

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
What's his personality like? Does he ever shy away from you. This is a fish I would love to own some day but I think my red devil has spoiled me when it comes to personable fish.

There usually shy until they reach about 8-10" mark but once they overcome this nothing much spooks them and the evil side comes out , tankmates are always a risk but can be done if there hardy fish.
As for the personal side yes you can hand feed and touch them without issues apart from maybe loosing a finger lol :D and they will follow you around the room and greet you but IMO cichlids once trained are much more personal to there owners much like dogs are they beg for food at the surface where as a jar will just lurk around until something hits the water then smash it (hence the watch your fingers its quite a shock once there 1ft +)

evz i was thinking of selling my arapaima for a jardini there is a nice 8 inches here and the owner is willing to trade me some cash as well:drool:. should i trade in ?
 
What's in the pond ? I'm presuming it'll be going in there eventually ? I'd go for it at least you can house him forever unlike the paima if your anything like me once you've owned a fish and grown it up it'll be hard to let it go lol
As long as its in good health I say go for it you've got enough space to deal with aggression towards tankmates , a lot more than I have to deal with ATM ;):D

ATM the pond is holding the arapaima and a rtc the arapaima is at least 18 inches give or take. my tank has a silver currently my plan will be to house the jardini alone and move the silver to the pond once the arapaima is gone
 
I say go for it mate if you can get yourself a good deal inc a bit of cash :) it'll save you problems down the line , don't forget pics if you get it mines about 8-9" atm
