Jag with clowns???

[Mule]

I currently have a bunch of fish in a 120g including 2 small GT and a Jag. Will they eventually become a threat to my clowns???

 

[Magnus30]

how big are all the fish

 

[rallysman]

yes, the jag will outgrow them quickly and they could become lunch.

Yeah I agree too.

Jag looks to be a small female (3-4 inches) The loaches are all around 5-6"

Hmm you may be ok for a while, but Jags have the Bass mouth and can eat thing's 1/2 theri size and grow quickly. This may work for a while but within a year your loaches won't exist....

 

[fishnthings]

within a yr the jaq wont exist if it tries to eat that big of a loach

buy i dont see them all existing in one tank

well the jags are a descent size but the loaches should be fine if they are already 6 inches..just keep everyone well feed...

most fish will not eat clown loaches because of the barbs under their eye and their warning coloration. That being said there are always exceptions and jags are the eat first ask questions later kind of fish.

I have a 1.5-2 inch clown in with my 6-7 inch Dovii and Jag right now no problems yet but my Dovii won't eat feeders just beefheart the spoiled bastage.
