IMO over stocked. I think one day your jag will make the other fish sleep for a long long time.

its funny i know of the aggression of jags my last male jag (jub jub) was the biggest ******* he wouldn't let anything in the tank except my pictus(from wen it was jus a baby now its 15cm anyone heard of them gettin bigger than that?) and a flowerhorn which he mated with an my yabby, he would defend them if i put my hand in the tank never backed down, also took a chunk out of my mates hand wen i dared him to touch the yabby haha
was about 30cm wen i had to get rid of him best fish ever owned!
 
oh the point to that story is this female i got has bunkered with the jd i think she's very calm never angry its only the geo an festae which fight?
will a school of sum small fish occupy them not to fight but i dont wanna feed feeders to them ive managed not to although its so much fun!

I believe yabby's are the various former UK country slang for crayfish/crawfish/crawdaddies or what ever else we call them. At least I know some Irish and Canadians that call them that.

i believe the word came from the land down under mate thats the aboriginal name for them

You will be looking minmum 30cm on the Jag, more than likely larger if it is male.
IMO the stock you have will require a 240 gal when full grown,maybe a 180 if you are lucky and they turn out tankmate tolerant. You wont achieve it in a 105g IMHO. If your Jag is male, it will require that tank just for itself full grown.

thanks mate i know males are crazy mine kinda looked like yours a bit but no where near as chunky or colourful1 but this female i got doesn't seem aggressive at all? how big do females get?
i think she's keen on the jd he's the biggest in the tank will they breed?
 
I would be expecting 30cm for a female. Personally I would do an all male tank.I have always experience dramas when breeding occured in a community tank. I have had better luck with all male tanks. Your female Jag could pair up with the the JD or the Festae. As with any combo though,it is often trial and error. More space just gives more chance of success.:)
