jag clean up crew

[bolty]

I have my Jag with a Clarias catfish right now. But if you want something that'll eat algae as well, I can't think of anything big enough or tough enough to be with a Jag but a Pleco.

that said depends on the individual fish, i have had a few jags and all them have peen the biggest pussys the 1 in the pic lived with all the fish i put in with him.

mbuna (malawi)
haps (malawi)
arro
convict
blue eye cic
red devil (beet the hell out of the jag)
oscars
juewl cic
green T
silver dollers
tin foil barbs
angles (sml)
walking cats
peruno cat
all sorts of syno
pacu
plecs
fiying foxe
red and black sharks (my black got to about 18inch)

ALSO SUCHING LOACHES

and maney more
the list goes on
and he was a 8 - 9inch fish
guess its just try and see
you dont want plecs and you dont like cats?
what do you want then?

what about a black shark (just a thought)

yeah a black shark would be ok, but do you think it would survive!? I didn't think that black sharks got as big 18 inch!? do you think that silver dollars would take food off the bottom?

how about a red tailed shark? suppose it would get eaten after awhile!?!

I keep 3 spotted Raphael Cats with my male Jag in a 90 gallon. He doesn't seem to bother them and they clean up quite well, at least in the morning their fat bellies tell me so! They have definitely kept the snail population in check as they were introduced with some Jumbo Val.

if you look up black shark it says that they get to 20" but iv seen mutch bigger (they looked bigger LoL) living in with fully grown red-tails, black sharks IMO are fighty and will stand there ground to all that want some, i find that they are a good fish as they will get on with there thing and not bother the other fish in the tank, BUT they will not take bullying.

i also have had silver dollars some are like hoovers where some are quite hard to get to feed (4 me that is) they are a verry skittish fish, also depending on the temp of your jag, if he did snap at them then he would do dammage at they have little scales and are also a soft fish so to dammage them is verry easy (like i say try and see)
