[Dovii dude]

There is what i would call a semi chain fish store in my city (only 4 stores),but thier fish are usually decent.Well my question is they have a tank full of 2-3 inch Jardini's,they are selling them for 70 dollars.I have never owned 1 before so i dont know much about them.Is this a good price for this size fish??Also i only have a 100 gal tank right now but will be upgrading come tax time(getting 180 OR 200 GAL)could this work out for now??Any other info is really appreciated!!!!!tHANKS!!

Sorry my mistake it is a 125 gal tank.

Around here(Colorado) 4-5" run about $45-60. Assuming your 125g is 72" x 18" x 21" you could keep a jardini in that tank comfortably until tax time next April. By the the jar will be 8-9" and nearing the size that they are known to go psycho.

remember you are most likely going to see that Jar alone in a single tank. He might accept tankmate but that like playing with the devil. That tank 125 is good for a year of the jar life at that size. I don't know about the price though, california price are cheaper. Jar that size only about 35-50.

I can get a 5" Jar for £20.

What do you mean go PSYCHO??

Would a reg Silver be better then??

Jars are known to be very aggressive at a certain point in their life.. although it depends on the fish's personality.. Many have killed plenty of tankmates.

Oh i see,thanks!!!What would make good tankmates for a jardini???

 

[ayobreezie]

Look at the Tankmates for Jardinis thread.. there are very few successes.. or more unsuccessful stories than successful, at least.
