I have a male Jaguar and a male RD. The male RD is totally trying to kill the Jag. They locked up once but the male RD is basically going to end up killing him. Which one should I keep? The jag is a little smaller but seems somewhat less aggressive (I just put him in there yesterday). They are seperated at the moment. One has to go.
 
The jag will tolerate other tankmates to a point where as the devil will slaughter all of them and then your stuck with a mean fish all by himself. I'd keep the jag personally. I've got one at 4" right that looks wicked. :woot:
 
Jag is deffinatly cooler. What size tank is it?

Go with a big enough tank and hopefully it will curb your devils aggression. Lfs near me has a full grown devil and a jag together in a show tank with other fish that would have normally been scooby snacks for a devil but everyone seems cool with each other. Seems like they are more interested in what's going on outside the tank than inside.
 
Well you shoulda expected it to happen in a 55. Any two agressive cichlids are going to have problems with eachother once they hit sexual maturity (about 4") in a 55 esp. if they haven't grown up together. I think in this case go with the devil because they stay alot smaller than jags.
