Jag compatability?

with a jag that size it is going to be hit and miss unfortunately especially if he has been in the tank on his own for any length of time. All my fish that are larger iv had together since juvenile and so far so good. Saying that tho iv just got a small jag that im hoping is male and a female that is quite a bit larger thta im hoping will go together when the male is a bit larger and bulked up a bit. the tank will be plenty big enough with plenty of hiding spaces so he can get away if needs be, a spare tank he can go in if things go really wrong and im prepared that one of these might always have to be on there own, but it might work out well and i might get some fry. You never no for sure, its all trial and error just have a back up plan. Iv seen some real oddball tanks with things together that you never thought would work and there really peacefull tanks
I had a pink convict with my mean, ole jag that got along pretty well. Everything else like oscars, plecos, and green texas just got beat up.
I would say keep him solo unless you upgrade the tank to a much larger footprint and have lots and lots of division and room. That fish is just going to dominate whatever is introduced.
like i said befor every fish is different, you really wont know untill you introduce a new fish to the tank. Just make sure you rearrande and stir up the bottom befor you introduce the new take mate.
I wish my Jag was mean. Mine gets beat up by a 3" convict. Ive had him since January and still not seen him eat. Maybe a larger GT or a JD might work?
Whatever fish you decide on take out the Jag and rearrange the tank add some new stuff and remove some old stuff so it does not look like his old territory and you should be fine. Then add your new fish first then the jag that way they will be entering the tank on neutral ground.
