I agree.
So, here's the thing; I had a juvenile Jack, Oscar, and an adult Firemouth in a 90 gallon; was hoping to buy a 125 to 150 Gallon in the near future (my original intention was to buy the larger tank first, but found a gerat deal on the 90), unfortunately the Oscar jumped out the other night, and due to a stupid error on my part with not quarantining fish, I added a Black Ghost Knife and an African Butterfly; the Black Ghost Knife infected my tank with Columnaris, and everything else other than my Jack and my African did not make it -- the African is not doing so hot, but I am trying my best, doing daily 50% water changes and treating with salt.
The Jack seems to doing well, and without being too overly optimistic, he is the only one out of everybody that I anticipate will survive this whole ordeal. The thing is, after the Oscar died I was pretty upset (he was my favorite fish out of my four tanks, which is silly because I had only had him for about four months) and decided I would turn the tank into a community tank -- the plan was to re-home the Jack. Now it looks like the Jack is going to be the only fish left and I am debating whether I should still look to re-home him or try the community tank with him. The Jack seems very docile at this point; he was getting bullied by both the BGK, and the Firemouth, never messed with the Butterfly, and was lower on the totem pole than the Oscar...but I know how much a fish's temprament can change from juveniles to adults, so who knows.
