New Jags only eat live food!

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
first i get it from ming, then ash, now you.... its never gonna stop:cry:
 
I also just got my first Jag, but the mix with Texas cichlids is a no no from what I've read.
They just don't tolerate tank mates. Rallysman has much experience with Jags, maybe he can tell you more.
 
live food eaters tend to be more agressive too. coz of the rush they get chasing and squishing live prey
 
Well I let them sit on it for a day with no food, and they ate pellets like crazy, so I think I may have had them a bit spoiled! LOL

Anyhow, I did someting real crazy. I put most of the fish from my 75G into the 200G. I put in the Jags first. My O's are about 7-8 inchces, and the Jags are 2.5-3 inches. The O's didnt bother them at all, so I dumped in the 2.5 inch and 2 inch Texas the next day. The O's didnt bother them. I did add a bunch of hiding spots, but the Texas's stay out in the open near the O's most of the time. The Jags are a bit more bashfull though. It is just crazy how the are all getting along!

I do want to thank y'all for the help! I will try to get pics of them soon on my gallary.
I'm also sorry it took me so long to get back with y'all, but I do appreciate your help!
