I officially got myself my own tank, so of course i have questions. I have a juvenile jd in a 55 with his odd but inseparable buddy a zebra cichlid. There is also a few giant danios, a lonely tiger barb, and a peacock eel. I was planing on adding a juvenile jag, but that's where the question lyes. Would there being any over stocking issues by adding a jag to the mix? Now i know (and hope) the danios will disappear mysteriously. My buddy at my whole in the wall pet store says it shouldn't be an issue but i thought i would ask. Also want everyones views on air pumps for these fish, example how much air flow style of hoses placement etc. thanks for anyone who responds:D
 
First of all the jag will get too big they get +15" your 55 is stocked as it is i would leave the stock as it is... Jags grow fast and would destroy the other fish...
 
Besides different water requirments i dont think so... Im sure youe fish have adapted to the water....
 
i have a 5-bar cichlid with 2 convicts and they all seem fine together. one of the covicts is a male, other has orange and rounded fins so im gussing its a female. And as far as 5-bar cichlid goes, im guessing its a male as well.
 
Your 55 is pretty much set as it is. I would get about 5 more Tiger Barbs since they are schooling fish. A Jag will get way too large for your tank. It will also be too aggressive in those tight quarters. Jags are territorial and will defend their space.
