2X Clariu's (from 2 - 3inch and grew them to about 16 - 18inch)
4X Angel Fish (about 3inch'ish)
2X Sevrum's (also about 3inch'ish)
1X Con's (same again)
2X Jade Eye's (same as)
1X Black Shark (10 - 12inch)
4X Bala Shark (4 - 6inch)
1X Giant Gourami (from a little 2ish inch fish grew him 2 about the 10inch mark)

1X Lima Shovelnose (4 - 6inch)
2X Oscar's (3 - 5inch)


2 - a 9ish inch male in a 4x2x2 120ish US G's

tryed him with con's (they got killed)
tryed mbuna (they got killed)
tryed a girl 4 him a little smaller (she got killed)
was fine with 4x pictu's
and was fine with a baby perruno
tryed him with a 10inch red devil and he killed the jag:WHOA:

both worked with plec's:)
 
Wait you have all those fish in the with the jag??!! Cuz if u do dude you need a WAAAAYYYYYYYYYYYYYY bigger tank. I'm keepin a larger RD in with him
 
what has worked for u

not

what is working;)

And if they was all in the same tank at the same time would NOT leave mutch room 4 water:ROFL:
 
yeah i lost too. :( in my exp. i had one that did fine with several other common CA/SA cichlids in a 125gal. haha untill it got around 8", then he started his onslaught or death. please take in acount that all the others were grown up with him, and were like sizes ranging from 6-10"'s, ended up getting rid of him. in my opinion, if u want a male keep it alone, however u could always try a female she might be fine with fish it cannot eat.... this is just from my exp, use it how you wish :)
 
Here is a shot of what has worked for me. Granted my jag is not aggressive at all and he was put in the tank small and grew up with his tank mates. I have heard what you put, depends on what temperment you end up with.
This pic was taken some time ago and all tankmates except the small jd are still with the jag.
 
15" jag with 2 oscars, a silver aro, clown knife, royal and common pleco, chinese perch:)
