on average in junky conditions a jag will reach 12 inches. in optimal conditions 14-16 inches. in optimal conditions, perfect varied diet and lucky genetics 18 inches
your tank is just not big enough for a jag but possibly perfect for the flowerhorn. if you have a really good filter and strong heater on your 56 go out and get a 75 gal off craigslist and set that up i mean thats if your hell bent on keeping the jag but dont think youll get away with keeping em both in either tank cuz one of your "children" will stress the other to death with time
