Typically jags are extemely territorial rather than outright aggressive, at least ime. When you moved the jag, he's no longer in his territory and feels out of place. Once he settles in and lays claim to his new space he'll be back to normal.
wierdest thing with jag and oscar...

im just lookin for personal opinions
thank you tho.
im sure this tank isnt the best for them buts its all i got to grow them out in. they will be goin in the big tank very soon
and as they grow will be upgraded as with all my other fish. my next tank will be a 300 or so. hopefully soon. once my lease is up with this ap im goin to either move to a 2 bedroom or just a bigger ap so i will have a whole room for our animals and thats where the 300 will go.
Stupid question but why don't people get the tank first and then stock it appropriately rather than buying fish and then needing a bigger tank? Seems like it would make sense to me but what do I know?
that does make sense but i would be depressed if i had my 120 with a 1.5 in o and jag.LowCel;4431142; said:
i would rather just upgrade as i go. especially now bc if i jumped striaght into a 120 gal i would have been lost copletely. its just alot easier to work your way up and get bigger and bigger.
if you have the experience and money then shoot yea get the biggest you can man!
but those are my reasons

I have a 210 gallon that had a 2.5" dovii in it that hid the majority of the time. He is growing up to be a monster but I don't have to worry about changing tanks constantly. It's not about me being depressed to look at a large tank with a small fish in it, it's about the fish being well taken care of.
Would it be because You Changed the water and basically changed the territory that they were acting weird cos they were in a New tank wth new docorations and stuff 
This is the exact reason why I don't have every fish that I want. I realise that I don't have the adequate tank space for everything that I want. I know the limit of any of my potential tank upgrades so I stock accordingly. I admit that it is kind of hard to have a big tank with very small fish. But it's a lot better than having big fish in a very small tank.LowCel;4431172;4431172 said:
hey man if you can do it your alot better than me
im seriuos. i get itchy if i cant see fish at all time in my tank.
i know its not the absolutly best for my fish but i do have it very over filtered and my fish are healthy. but when i get my 300 i will not have giants just the fish i have now and maybe more small fish

I'm not knocking you. I really know how you feel. But I hate having to raise something so long and watch it grow and mature just to have to turn around and sell or trade it because it is too big for my tank. I have a buddy that I turned on to keeping fish. He is an addict now. He has a 9" RTM x Dovii, 5" Festae, 8"GT, 8"Venustus, 4"RD, five Cory cats all in a 75gal. This is after I went to his house a few days ago and convinced him to remove four other 5" African Cichlids from the same 75gal. He can't stop and now he plans on putting more in the 75 now because he has the "space" again. He can't stand to see any empty space. At least you're not this bad!
