My Jardini is a wuss

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
My 9 inch jardini was kinda aggressive at first, attacks my delhezi but doesnt mind my juruense catfish. After a few days, it kinda grew to love the dragonfin as well. But when I introduced my 6.5 inch Indo tiger, it was my dat that was attacking my jardini, with my aro losing a scale or two each week. Kinda strange as I was expecting my jardini to be more aggressive than my tigerfish.

....I dont think this is wise unless your happy to lose your Jar?! Quarantine usually means you seperate them from your other fish for a period so as not to introduce a disease or infection!? Sticking them in your Jar tank to quarantine will mean it will be the first to be infected! :(


They are just normal platys bought at full price from a normal tank, they are obviously in good condition as they are not sold as "feeder platys".

So when I say quarantine I just mean a holding tank so that the SH doesn't gobble them all in 10 mins.
 
Hi, new member (my first post), i just wanted to add that my Jardini really began to show aggression at around 10-11" and he took a real dislike to my senegal bichir. Prior to that he happily lived with my two Oscars
 
sabbath - how aggressive did he become at 10/11 inches. Full on attacking and killing other fish or just a bit of nipping and aggression?
 
never killed anything but i think thats due to the fact i have plenty of caves and pipes for the bichirs to hide in. The worst i saw was when i walked in and he had my senegalus hanging out of his mouth ( bearing in mind that the two were about the same length), he eventually let it go with no lasting damage. He will also attack my finger if i run it along the side of the tank.
 
mine became an instant pitbull and started grabbing other fish and thrashing its head after he grabbed them. Its brutal and i will never keep a jar again unless its a solitary tank.
 
I actually just sold mine also so that i could something slightly more peaceful and maybe see the other fish in my tank rather than have them hide from the Aro all day.
 
he was about 12" and i sold him for exactly the same as i paid for him. As long as he went to a good home i didnt mind
