single fish for a 180

I have a single male Jag alone in a 180. Its far from boring, he uses the whole tank and is doing very well with big space.
Not tempted to find him a female ?

How long have you had it and don't BS. Jags are cool fish and a lone wet pet in one tank is fine. However, If it's your only tank and you see tons pics of species after species here on MFK the decision to keep one fish if it's your only big tank it will come back and bite you.
I got him in May of '13 around 6ins. A rescue, he was in a filthy 75 with a bigger male. Obviously that wasnt working well. Felt bad for leaving the other fella behind, but couldnt house 2 at that time. I kept him in a 90 for a couple months, got him back up to speed and on a better diet. He was then moved to a 125. He has been in his new 180 for about 9 weeks. I run 11 tanks from 55 to 265g. My 265 is a community, a 180 houses an adult Oscar pair. All other tanks house single fish. Besides Jag, I have Dovii, Festae, RTM, JD, RedTex, Midevil and 2 other large Oscars. I prefer single large fish in adequate tanks.
Would be cool, yes, but where I live, there s no market for CA cichlids, so fry would either perish or be chow for other fish.
