jags

i doubt you'll get a female to 20"...rare for a male to get that large. I'm not saying it's not possible but for a female I think 12-14" is probably about as big as it's going to get. So yeah, good plan to just keep one in the tank..I highly doubt 2 of them would be ok long term in that size tank.

i would say a 90 is too small even if it was a female. what are the dimensions?

the tank I'm getting I believe it was 4ft long 2 feet wide and 2 and a half feet tall.

a standard 90 gallon is 48" x 18" x 22/24" (I don't remember the exact height). a 48" x 24" x 24" is a 120 so a 48" x 24" x 30" would be a 150 I believe.

Well I just got the surprise of my life. The female jags I bought are actually a pair. I was skeptical anyway when they told me that they were females cause one was more vivid than the other. Anyway they had a small batch of fry I just noticed this morning in the cleared corner of the tank. Now I just need some insite on what size tank to move them into now that I know they are a pair. They are currently in a 90.

i think a long 120g (5ft) would be good for life for the pair by itself with maybe a couple silver dollars or something (125g would be better and of course you would have to go larger if aggression issues arose

CONGRATS on your pair!!

Thanks for the help. I think ill go with the 120 for life for the pair.

go with the 125 gallon. its a foot longer and i believe 125 gallon are more common and less expesive then a 120.
