I've looked for jags for years, not regularly available in my area, & now I finially got one & have an opportunity to get a bunch. How many could I keep in a 90g?
 
at the most 1 pair, but a 90 may eventually be too small for a pair. males can get rather large like 14-16" and I've heard even larger. the largest one I've ever seen though was around 14". you should be able to keep a mated pair for several years though before you may see the need to upgrade them to a larger tank. if you want a pair it's best to get several (6 or so) juveniles, grow them up together and let them pair off naturally. once a mated pair forms you'll need to remove the extras or risk them being killed. :)
 
^---- The man knows what he is saying I am currently voting fish off my Dovii mating "Island". Just keep in mind individual fish will vary just hope for a semi passive Jag. :thumbsup:

Thanks, I have a 150 I would eventually upgrade them to!
