Jag and ancistrus

[sharonka]

May be parachromis managuensis and ancistrus sp. together in community tank? Thanks for answer.

they will probably be absolutely fine. If the jag isn't that aggressive, ancistrus are generally peaceful fish and do well in communities.

I haven't had any problems with ancistrus and my jags. The ancistrus stay still most of the day and the jags ignore them.

I recently picked up a pair of WC Jags and they killed my bushynose pleco and my gold nugget pleco. These two were in a tank with a big captive-bred Jag for a year and a half with no problems before that. Good luck.

Thanks, I have one young JAG I think female with convict (one male and two female) and sajica (one male and three female) and three ancistus in a 250 litres (I don´t know - 55 gall?) tank, JAG may be 7 month old. And my friends says, that it is impossible, that managuensis female kill ancistrus , when she be older. But in our country JAG isn´t usual fish, I know only one boy which has it and he has only young fish, so my friends hasn´t really experiences. I don,t know also, if sajica cichlids are compatibility with adult JAG, they are little and overly paceful I think.
