Hi All
i need some advice -- i have 3 tanks now
1. A pair of 10 inch Jaguars
2. A pair of Aurnatimaculata with 4 bichirs
3. 5 six inch Siamese datnoids with 2 twelve inch micropeltes Snakeheads (yes it is possible!!)

i now have to reduce my number of tanks to 2 tanks only!!
my question is this:
**Can i mix the mated pair of Jags with Datnoids (and possibly even the aurantimaculats)??!!**

probably i will have to sell my micropeltes ....... zzzzzzzzzzzzz:(
 
I didn't read any of that but chill out on the font size bro.
 
if i put any fish in with my breeding Jags they will kill it or die trying...............

dont put any fish you like in with them!
 
if your pair starts breeding, as with many other fish they will be somewhat territorial, after they lay there eggs they will chase anything away from that area, but in my experience this terriory, will only be about mabey at most 2 feet of the tank length, and if suppose you have a 6 foot 125, for them, that will give some dat's enough space to thrive. my 14" pair will not kill tankmates, just chase them away. they aren't a blood thristy fish, just a territorial fish.
 
double post
 
my pair must be a 1off! as i had to move all there tank mates out, both cichlids and catfish as the female jag was beeting them all to hell if they came out of the end verry end of the tank (they was all up agans the glass)

tank mates was GT same size as her doviis JDs pictus and she even was pounding my little royals!

from "my" experance with "my" Jags i my-self would not do it (but thats just me going from my own fish)

and if your Jags only want 2foot of the tank lets hope its not 2foot in the middle :grinno:
 
Thats ood cause all my brreeing pairs (3 maybe 4 pairs now)of jags are crazy about anyone being near there area and chase anyone off and if they get too close too many times thats when they get the snot kicked out of them.
 
Thanks for the advice!!!
my jags will prob have their own tank
will prob mix the aurantis and the dats and bichirs and sell the redlines
zzzzzzzzzz
Thks again!!
 
IME my jag would kill anyone in his tankeven when he wasnt breeding. i definately wuldnt do it. kind of off topic but wat size tank wwas that tank with the dats and snakeheads?
 
yeah thats prob the best way to go and leave the jags on their own, my jags have always been pretty peaceful but they wasn't breeding!!!
