Jaguar cichlid Tank mates and tank size

[Acerbeast]

I agree it will not be in a 4ft tank. Biggest tank I have available is 120, ill probably try a few beefy tank mates and see how it goes. I was thinking male salvini, common pike, maybe a texas, also a shovelnose?

Common pike?

Salvini may have the attitude to match

I'd worry about the eventual size gap just because male jags get so damn big, but attitude wise a salvini would definitely have no problem standing up for himself.

The size gap shouldnt be to bad for a female jaguar. A common size is 9-10 inches?

I will attach a picture of the pike

I've kept those pikes before, was never 100% on the species but I got them at petland discounts for cheap and they looked identical. They get to around 6-7" and are pretty aggressive. Would probably be fine to keep with your jag until the jag gets big enough to eat it, if that happens.

I wouldn't recommend it really, unless you have a huge tank for gars. Snakehead are kind of touchy as to community tanks
