question about EBJD

[thesquishy]

I have an EBJD that has been living in my 105g with some Jags and GT's and they all have lived peacefully for along time. But now my GTs and Jags are getting more agressive and the poor guy is always dodging and hiding in a corner...I dont wana loose this guy sooooooo....
my question is would he get along ok with 3 Frontosas and some bichirs in a 120g?

Yup

lol ok thanks, I know he'd be fine with the bichirs but I wasnt shure about the Fronts

wait how big are the bichir?

 

[Freshwaterpredators]

It all depends. EBJD's should really be kept with mild/peaceful fish or alone due to their fragility. everyone has had different expiriences with them.

I had a cute ebjd and it died of stress. Water tested fine,established aquarium,no signs of abuse from other fish... broke my heart. Not the normal ruffntuff jack disposition.

....Rainbows and butterflies? realy?

Certainly better than where they are but the frontosa will become very large and the mix is not the best. I would start up a seperate tank for the ebjd , they are worth the effort. setups are cheap now watch craigslist Rick

My EBJD is about 6" already and is the same size as the fronts, Ive already moved him in with them and so far everone leaves eachother alone. He seems much happier too. Im going to still keep an eye on all of them make shure no aggression or whatnot appears. Thanks everyone.

ok yeah if he is that big then he should be fine with the fronts, i have a small front in my american cichlid tank and while he has no problems holding his own if someone tries to give him attitude, he isn't one to go out and start fights, of course every fish is different but if yours are like mine then the EBJD should be fine with them

(i know its an african and should be kept in groups, but he seems just fine and is actually growing quite fast for a frontosa, and im only growing him out for awhile don't really plan on having him long term)
