my jardini is around six inches lives with a south american redtail cat and a tiger shovelnose. and 2 12in texas cichlids but for some odd reason my arrow gets spooked all the freakin time and all the other fish are calm as all can be. is this normal?

My jardini gets startled quite easily too and I think they are known to behave that way. It hurts to see him going crazy getting body injured and large scales coming off. And those barbels are a little crooked now...

How long have you had him? how big is he and how big is the tank, does the tank have a back ground on it?
Using dimmer lighting and adding some floating plants may help.
i just had to kick 2 of my shovlnoses out of my jardinis tank after a year ov being together... i woke up to find mailbox (my jar) had thrashed both of them. he is about 14 inches and the shovlnoses were about 12in. the onlytank mate with him now is a synodontis....dont ask.
gday,iv had my jar for 5 years and is now 20''.he lives with 20'' ID shark,18''TSN,2 14'' clown knifes,19'' giant gourami,6'' syndontis,14'' cigar barb and a 13''murry cod.the only fish he occassionally has a dig at is the giant gourami which sometimes gets its tail torn.but apart from that,they all get along fine.they are in an 8x2x2.

The tank does not currently have any background but it's against the wall. I've had it for months and it is about 7" long.
Does background help or make it easier startled?
