My Jardini is being an **************

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
Exactly how dangerous are Arowanas to other fish the same size as them? Or bigger?

I mean, he's gonna be with a Pacu that's probably 20 times bigger than he is (not in length, just in general bulk) (ps: don't worry, this fish has never been fed feeders in its entire life, and just to be sure I dropped a couple of small guppies in there once and she didn't even bat an eyelash, so I know smaller fish are safe around her), but if they were the same size, how much can he actually hurt another fish? To death?

if you want a community your best option is probably returning ur jar and buying a silver
imo you shouldnt buy a jardini unless you plan to set it up in its own tank by itself for life

Yeah, jardinis are nice to look at, but they aren't exactly the type to keep with other fish.

:( Oh okay, alright, I guess I'll have to put him in another tank all by himself.

So I bought a 3-4" baby Jardini yesterday for $55, and when I put her in the quarantine she first thing he did was start beating on the Clown Knife. However, when I first witnessed this, I saw the CK charging at the Jar, so I put a divider on the tank and put the Knife alone on one side.

However, while doing a water change a few minutes ago, I noticed the Tiger Oscar's top back fins were shredded. So now the Jardini is on the other side of the divider all by himself.

What can I do to make him less aggressive towards other fish? Or is there nothing to do? He's still young, is there hope?

he is a jar..... can tigers change their stripes ??
 
go back to your lfs or wherever you bought it and get a new one. i have one and it doesn't mess with my other fish. from my experience I have had two silvers that were more aggressive than my jaridini. my jardini just chills at the top.
 
I've never ever had the heart to exchange a fish or return a fish just because it was kind of mean. I love all the different personalities they have, and I think they are grossly underrated.

It's rare that you get suggestions to return a fish for acting like it's supposed to. :ROFL:
