It's true what rallyman has said about my 22" jardini's aggression. I have tried several larger catfish, plecos, rainbows, and large cichlids...nothing has worked out so far. He has either severely punked the other fish or ate them. It might just be the one that I own, but he is very possessive over his tank. I keep hoping to find something to put in with him, but I also think he looks amazing in a tank by himself.
Requested full tank shots

Well hopefully since mine was introduced into the tank with bigger fish than himself-Hopefully he realizes he's not the king-----I think my pacu would put a beating on him in all honesty....At least for now......
I have not seen n e agression yet towards my bottom dwellers.....Hopefully this doesn't change with time-Mind you he has only been in the tank now for three days...
Great lookin tank. I have 2 albino channel cat's. Both around 18inches. They are active at times and not at other times. But they definitely appreciate their hiding spot's. You have a very nice combo of fish in there......
Thanks-
I have alot of work left to do to it also-
Scapeing it-Will take me some time....I have to find some where to collect some from around here.....

Awesome tank,Now I think I can sorta tell the width part of it,which I just wasn't seeing earlier.
As for Jars getting over 20" I have seen many around 2 foot,a few pushing 30" and the one in the monitor exhibit in Mandalay Bay shark Reef in Las Vegas is every bit of 3 feet in 750 gallon of water (someone back me up on that).....
heres a pic of it next to a 2 foot gourami

great setup and great specimens! definitely looking forward to updates as the tank setup develops further.
as for the jardini, unfortunately the majority of what has been said about this species in the thread so far is true...they are very aggressive/territorial, and generally do not get along with other fishes. it's too bad because they are a great looking species, just happen to generally terrorize tankmates. you never know if yours is an exception, so you can just keep an eye out for aggression...you should get a clear warning sign or two before things get really out of hand, just be prepared to put the fish somewhere else. best of luck!
...and looking forward to more pics!--
