If the jags are good w/ a gar chances are they'd be good w/ a bichir, I would stand at the ready to separate just in case but I've never had problems w/ bichir and cichlids.. I've kept em w/ pbass, green texas, festae, a. stalsbergi, couple different kinds of geophagus, and severum. Never an issue, you might want to go for a big one though if the jags are chunky
