Jag tank size?

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
now aint that a slag of jag. what? not a jag? oops. let me try again.
 
Not sure if i missed the answer to this somewhere but why cant he start out with the 75 and upgrade a few months down the road ?
 
I would say that's quite slow growth, 10 to 12 inch in two years?I would expect faster growth than that from a jag.
Even so,a 12 inch fish in a 75can't do a lot.
 
jags do not grow real fast, can expect 10" in a year at best for a male. more than likes 9" but they are growing. and they are not oscars. they are not content to hang out and beg for food. they need room and structure.
 
....... size at 2 years will depend a great deal on size of fish when purchased. So guesstimating the maximum size of a fish at 2 years, that has yet to even be purchased, is a moot point.

was figuring 1-2", when I got any of mine they were all that size. can't imagine wanting to buy one already big lol it'll get there eventually
 
Why some people keep trying to find excuses when they know full well what's right and what's wrong is beyond me.

If you really want to do it, do it, just don't pretend you care about the fish or it's the right thing to do.

This is a BS answer.

I think it is not a bad thing to do, personally. (At the moment at least.) But, im still looking into others opinions to see how i will decide.

Nothing in this worls is right or wrong. Everything is changed by perspcetive.

For example, let me take the ethical standpoint. On one hand, im saving a fish from a 20 gallon tank in a store crammed with 15 other fish. And it could easily end up in the same situation if someone buys it. But on the other standpoint im putting it into a situatuion where it is, admittedly, pretty tightly squished in.

Or even a logical standpoint. A small tank doesnt technically limit a fish unless the fish is big enough that its unable to move. The food and water quality is what is important. In smaller tanks with bigger fish, it becomes difficult to maintain but not impossible. So it should work, right? But you could still come up with research saying that fish are stunted in enviroments that are too small, and have shorter lifespans.

Everyone counteracts each other. Neither is right or wrong technically. Im trying to decide what i think is right, and even if i do decide its fine, this is still a hypothetical situation that may not even occur.
