Jaguar in community tank

[Predator07]

I was thinking in add 3inch juvenile Jag in 150gallon grow out tank// With the rest of my juveniles Ca/Sa cichlids. What should I expect and are jaguar cichlid aggression overrated??

How big are the other cichlids and what are the other cichlids? Depending on the stock and size of the stock, it may or may not work

 

[Predator07]

3- 4.5 inch JD, Gt, Midas, Oscar and 7inch chocolate cichlid

The Midas and the jag will be the biggest bullies and the Midas might kill everything

 

[Predator07]

As of now the boss is between chocolate and Oscar

 

[beau1990]

Give it time a Midas alone can take 150gal to itself

 

[claybae]

yeah its risky as they might bully and eat the smaller fish

Well it's a grow out tank. Planning on upgrade to 300 to 240 gallon tank

Has anyone had success with a jag in community?

A long time ago I had a set up with similar stocking. I had an Oscar, JD, Jag, and GT (I don’t remember if the GT was in this set up at the time, but definitely the others were together). My Oscar was the peace keeper. The JD and Jag would go at it from time to time, but my Oscar would swim between them as if to break it up every time.

The Jag was surprisingly well behaved. It was usually the JD that would try to pick a fight and the Jag didn’t back down, but the Jag like to punk my Clown Knife from time to time.
