new 75

[bigpeacock]

i just got a 75 gallon and im drawing a blank on what to put in it
right now there is
1 crawfish
1 jag 2"
1 gt 1.5"
2 tiger barbs 1.5"
1 clown pleco 1"

im plannin on adding a few more tiger barbs but i dont know what else to add or if i should add any more so help me out

You have to plan ahead of time, which set up you want to have. A community non aggressive fish or one solo aggressive fish (jaguar).
In a few weeks to a month/months, the jaguar will start to kill everything in that tank. Beginning with tiger barbs, crawfish, then the plecos/gt.
Dont waste you money on community set up with aggressive CA american fish like jaguars.

The jag will fight with the GT, kill it, probably kill everything else.

A 75 is not big enough for a pair of O's or Buti's. If youwant, get ONE of one or the other. But I would suggest just getting rid of the jag, everything else should be fine, except te GT will probably eat the crayfish

jaguar aggression is overrated, they are not THAT agressive, a spawning pair would probably kill everything in the tank..not a single fish,unless you have one and its huge..and the other fish in the tank are small enough for it to eat..
if you have them small, or same size as the other fish, there wont be much problems..this comes from experience

besides, a 75 is big enough for ONE jag, and probably nothing else

thank you.......i was hoping someone would say that

 

[bigpeacock]

my jag doesnt even attack any of the fish that i have witnessed..........it ate one tiger barb that i added but i knew it would happen because it was a tiny one it doesnt even care about the bigger barbs

jag aggression depends on the actual fish... There are some that will kill your hand much less other fish..

Also I would agree, keep just the jag or get rid of it and keep the others. Even if it does "get along" a 75g isn't enough room for a GT and jag..
