[Dovii dude]

This morning i bought a nice Gold Siam(think that is how it is spelled)1 hour in the tank and he got owned by my Jag,i thought it would be alright cause the jag never bothers with 3 Siver Dollars i have in the tank,the G.T .was like 4 inches my jag is 5 inches.What a waste!!!I guess now i know,no new fishes for me!!!

Well the jag probably didn't see the silver dollars as a threat to his territory, where as the Gold Saum was a threat.

I have a GT thats about 5" that I have had for a few months. I got a 6" Nicaragian and put him in the tank a little while ago. The GT went all kinds of crazy on the Nic. Kicked its butt bad. Sucks cuz that was a cool fish.

Anyway, about a week before, I introduced a 7" Bichir to the tank. He may be 2 inches longer, but the GT looks a lot larger. My GT could care less about the Bichir. Even when he got close to the GT fry, they would just nudge him out the way rather than bite.

I guess what I am getting at is it all depends on who your fish thinks is a threat. Weird though. Sucks about the Saum.

Sorry about the news.

That's always aggravating. Sorry for your loss. I always get so mad when things I think will work end up working out very badly. I think my fish do it to me just to prove me wrong because they hate me.

 

[Dovii dude]

I may get a Mylosomma or a Black Belt Silver Dollar,tank needs more fish

You will learn that once an aggressive fish establishes territory it is difficult to introduce fish of equal size to that inhabitants tank. The same thing would have happend to the Jag if the GT was established first.
