How peaceful/aggressive are Jardini with other big predators?

[Simonas]

A general question I know but I have never kept one and have started noticing them recently and liking the look of them

I have the likes of a fire eel, big male jag whos very peaceful, florida gar and clown loach in my tank.

Are Jardini the type of fish to be feisty/aggressive ? I know nothing of their temperament

Most of the time jardini tend snap and kill all there tankmates when they reach 12" or 30cm or so , but you sometimes get a jardini that is okay with tank mates not common though , given enough space and hiding places it can work but always a risk
Can you find Saratoga Leichhardti where you are or just the Saratoga jardini? As they both look very similar but the leichardti is much more relaxed then it's jardini cousin and are natives here in Australia

Thats good to know cheers for that

I may swerve them for now then

Not sure about the Leichhardti but I will look into them

I have had multiple jardini. Only ever had 1 that was good with anything else and even she killed a few fish.

The best way I have heard keeping a jardini with other fish is "Do not keep them with any fish you aren't willing to lose".

Does this principle apply to scleropages formosus the likes of the chili red and RTG? Are they as aggressive as the Jardini?

There's a thread somewhere that provides a general ranking. Jars are the worst by far. I've been told greens are the 2nd worst

I have never kept any species of asian arowana they aren't legal where I am but from what I see online they tend to be good with other fish similar to the leichardti occasionally you get a super aggressive one I'd assume, but just a quick search on YouTube and you see alot of asian arowana community tanks, but again I have no personal experience with these species

Your best bet is to raise one since baby with the other fish you wanna keep I had luck with jardinis like that.( but they may turn aggressive and kill the other fish) They only fish that I seen jardinis ignore has been bottom fish like plecos or sometimes birchirs. They tend to attack evrythign mid level to high level.
