This is the best video i have of him/her it was taken a month ago when i had major algae problem so everything was taken out. Before you make comments about the set up check my latest video out first thanks MFK!

Okay thank you!! yes i was hoping for a female! and would make sense why she's always fighting with my female blue acara!

 

[fishman09]

no problem.

Lmao @ that video. She kept trying and trying until she finally stole the pot... and the male Blue Acara didn't even try to help.

Lmao yea all he wanted was to keep going in front of the camera! but they did later take of a stump cave from the jag and spawned! but they ate all the eggs......

Yes i agree female Jag. And the acara's have taken the pot because they are a pair and gettin ready to spawn and although the jag may be a tough bugger, it will most likely be killed or beaten up by the acaras once they do lay eggs.!! id say find a divider for the jag or move the pair or the jag lol nice fish though

Thank you! they have already spawned this was a month ago they spawned on christmas! but the eggs were unsuccessful and the jag was not killed

I doubt the Jag would be killed. I've had breeding pair of BA and they were one of the most peaceful pairs I've ever kept. They only chased other fish for a short distance and went back to their business.
