I know from experience that you can't keep Tigs together but I was wondering if you could keep a tig and a juruense together?
 
Not sure but I have three tigs together all about 10" and they are fine.
 
Wow lucky you. That must be some awesome looking tank.. I did not have that luck. Maybe the odd number lessons the aggression?
 
Not sure the tank is japanese style so they don't really have any territories that might be the answer.
 
No, unless there is a 3rd similar fish. Large Pimelodus, especially Tigrinus, are very aggressive and territorial... the suggested minimum number is usually 3. And even then they need a LOT of caves and territories.
 
I would not do it due to the Value difference is so great. If the Juru kills the Tig, Id be pissed. Other way around I would not take it as hard
