I got a juruense a couple of weeks ago and like him so much I'm thinking og getting a few more but can't find any info on them being kept together...anyone have first hand experience with them? If I can keep them together I'm gonna get rid of my 2 hybrids.
 
Hey there.

I have tried to keep 2 Jurense together.
They where fine up to about the 6 -7 " mark & then began fighting, only a little now and again but then progressively worse until I had no choice but to split them apart.
I wouldnt try it again.
 
i don't have juruense but i have tigs... they say they can not be kept together either... i have 3 at the moment... they are in a 120 gallon grower til they go in my 600... it all depends on the fish you get... all will act different... you might get 2 that won't get along and you might get some that will... you just need to be ready to seperate if needed... i wouldn't try it will less than 3 so the aggression can be spread out... so it's not just 2 going at it... and also try to get ones around the same size... and since you already have one he will probably be the one that causes problems at first since he thinks it's his tank.... but my 3 had a little fighting for space at first mainly the one i had first for 9 months or so... now 3 months or so later no problems and really there should be cuz the tank they are in is to small for 3 13 to 15 inch tigs... just my 2 cents.. just cuz people say it can't be done doesn't mean it can't... it's a trail and error... if you want it i would try it... like i said before tho it's a trail and error cuz sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn't...
