i had my new jag in my 55 blue ram breeding tank while the 90 was cycling. here he is after i added him into the 90.

he was never shy in the 55 and still isnt shy in the 90 till the camera came out. then he hid, but after a few he was back to swimming around but then i couldnt get him to stay still for a single picture. more pictures to come.

im gonna try to put in a female festae with him, then upgrade the tank when i need to in the next year or two depending how they grow and tolerate each other. just one question how do you sex jags? he probably is to small and the pictures suck but what should i look for?

haha here is my 55 gal blue ram breeding tank that the jag called home for a few the last 2 days. surprising the jag didnt cause any problems with the rams but he enjoyed chasing the small giant danios. if anything the rams were upset that the jag was in there, nip his tail fin once or twice.

Wow a cycled tank in 24 hours, hore for the Jags sake you put some established filters on the tank.

the festae and jag will be at odds with one another. better watch them closely.

thanks but the tank was up and running saturday morning, the guy took his fish to his friend, around 12 i picked up the tank around 230 and had it filled with water by 5. so i hope i didnt lose to much of the bacterial colony in that 5 hour span, the fx3 was just un pluged not emptied or anything, i cleaned some of the media but just for waste didnt clean extreamly well where the bactera would be rinsed out.
 
nice jag.....prob at some point make a meal of the danios,my jag grew from 2inches to 8-9inches in six months,,,,hes just snapped now and attacking everything in the tank....be warned
 
nice jag! and tank
 
My jag and festae were in a 90 for awhile. They went at when first introduced, but when the festae won, they have had peace ever since.
 
thanks guys. yea i realized the danios will be a snack some day if i dont use them to cycle another tank. the only reason i got them was to cycle my 55 then i used them to check the water in my 90 and if i get my other 55 up ill use them again (if i can catch them in the 90). ill let you know how it goes when i find a female festae
