need some help on ideas

[jakemorries]

right my tank is 130 gallons and my current stock is
1 jack dempsey
1 red terror
3 jags which will go down to 2 when if there is a pair (hopefully)
2m&2f convicts which will go down to pair
1 texas
plec
2 polleni which i didnt have the heart to let go of
1 vieja fenestrata i think or something like that forgotton the name
2 nicaragu

and its started to slowly kick off so far my jack dempsey has had a real beating, found a convict tail sticking out off on of the jags mouths and my smaller polleni has got a few funny marks.

so its time to change again i dont like to see the fish injured.

im going towards the jags again and i can get either a breeding pair about 7" or a breeding pair about 10" or small ones and hope to get pair.

what would u do?????

only thing is i want to keep midas and the plec there is alot of room to stay away from each other

I'd say you'd be pushing it with just a pair of jags in there. You have a 5 tons of brutes in a 50 pound bag.

what 2 jags will be to much in the tank

Definately way to many fish at the moment. Pretty much no chance of them getting along or you being able to keep it clean.

A pair of jags would be all you could keep in there. You have to remember that breeding pairs are more aggressive plus jags get HUGE. Start getting rid of fish ASAP or your are only going to have a lot more casualties. A pair of jags might not sound like a lot of fish but if you had to healthy adults in there it would look full.

what pair would u get then the biggest or medium

I like to get a fish on the smaller side and grow it. But it really is up to you...
