I have a jag being grown out but ive been thinking about adding another to my stock to take the place of my wolf fish or jack dempsey. Which would work better, loiselli, freddy, RTM. Dont worry about tank size or filtration as i have all that worked out...
 
agreed with ^.
 
RTM are the best looking. And if given the choice of only one, I would would almost take my little 5" RTM male over my big 12" jags.
My female Freddi is kind of easily spooked half the time and probably the most outwardly aggressive towards the other fish.
 
I will have to see what my lfs can get for me. I've had a rtm and a loiselli and the loiselli was mean

Lol They supposed to be the smallest and most laid back.

Personally, I'd fo the RTM. I'm actually picking one up today for my 300. Best colors of all the parachromis and I found one that follows me around like a dog
 
I think RTM are a beautiful option. But are you trying to have a male RTM and a male Jag? If you have Parachromis of opposite sex together you run the chance of them breeding. I believe that RTM max out around 12".
