What are some good dither fish for my Jardini? I have a Flagtail in there right now which is fast enough to dodge the aro, but the gar is not so lucky neither is the pleco. Should I get some dithers? Will it make a difference? Should I just abandon the idea of having a com tank with the Jar? He was raised in a angel com and just recently started getting snappy with the gar and flagtail.

Thanks
 
from my own personal experiences. jars cant live with anything. if it is doing ok with tankmates now, it will eventually get worse as it ages unfortunately.

Is your jardini shy or hiding alot? Why is it that you feel you need dither fish?
 
Just starting to get aggressive, I figure dither fish will help dissipate some of the angst.

Adding more fish may help spread the aggressiveness of the jardini. These would not be dither fish though by definition.
 
Tinfoils,my rtg has a go at them all the time,it doesnt seem to bother them one bit,they just carry on eating lol and they have actually calmed the rtg down a bit.
