Do you know for how long can I keep a small Jags in a 10 galon tank?
I have two about one inch long.
I want them to grew up before I introduce them to a bigger tank.
Can I keep them till they get to 2..2,5 inch in that tank?

Thanks for help!
 
As long as you do a roughly 70% waterchange every week, and as long as they decide not to kill one another, I think it will do fine.
 
you and them watter changes lol
make shore you have addequent filtration on the tank. Me i run a ac 200 on a ten gal tank with duble sponges. i got like 30 fry in mine right now.yes you need the watter changes but i think 75 percent a bit on high side. I say do like 40 percent watter change. a week. they should be fine aproching the 2 inch mark bu8t i wouldnt let them get to three inchs. if you wanting them to hit three ide pick up a 20 gal or a 15 long for more space to keep aggression levels to a min. Also in my opp jags are over rated int he agression department. i been keeping them for two years now and havent had no real problems out of them.

I also think that 75% of water changes for one time is to much...
Maybe a 30% twice a week water changes should be fine with those...
When I'll saw some agression I'll move them to a biger tank..
I thought that when they will rise together then they will accept each other as adult..
