Jaguar fry at what size to separate ?

[bradzx]

Have 6 fry got them at about half inch 4 months ago and now reaching 2-3.5in the confirmed male has what it seems like paired off with his sibling .. should I separate him from them.. I got them to pick a male out the bunch .

Yes I would separate

 

[bradzx]

Yes I would separate

Ok question .. is it true it can stunt the males growth it ..if it breeds so young ?

No I dont think so I just had my 2.5-3 inch male JD spawn about a month ago and he has been growing a healthy 1/4-1/2 inch a week probaly my fastest growing fish lol fast than my oscar!

Ok question .. is it true it can stunt the males growth it ..if it breeds so young ?

how big is the tank?

45 gallon bow used as the grow out but I have a 150 for the male when he’s big enough

Ok good you have a plan but pretty soon you might start seeing aggression especially if the male pairs off

Seems the aggression in the tank is starting to peak .the fish are more in a hiding mood, anything I can do to make them more active . I spend time infront of the Tank.

maybe use dithers like silver dollars giant danios or congo tetra but only silver dollars might work long term notice I said might
