currently i have just stock: 3 pbass wild orinos at 3-4", 1 mono 1.5", 1 jardini 6", 1 armatus 3.5", 2 polyp. congicus at 11-12" each, 1 ornate bichir 8-9", and finally still coming 3 more wild mono pbass at 4-6"...

ofcourse all these fish are in separate aquariums because of varying sizes...

ANYBODY MADE THESE TYPE OF COLLECTION WORK? when ofcourse they're all in same/similar sizes about 10" or so...

the final tank will be about 8'x3'x25-30".. that should be >350g... i'm guessing that should be big enough for them..if not.. i'll sell/giveaway 2-3 of my smaller pbass...

what do you guys think...???
 
no. jar will go on a killing spree more than likely. drop the jar and possibly....
 
i was thinking of that too.. heard too many stories of the jardini once they get about 10" or so, they get really violent.. right now though he is still mild tempered even scared of the smaller size frontosa that he's in with... but i'm not gonna put him in the final tank until i c his behavior past 12"
 
the jar is very mellow so far... but i think its too early to tell.. no signs of aggression towards any fish at all that he doesn't consider as food... he's in an 80g tank with 2 frontosas 4-6", 2 congicus 11" each, 2 6" eupterus or featherfin synodontis and an 8" bumble bee... the bumble bee is the dominant one followed by the larger frontosa...
 
i guess i'm gonna have to wait and see.. if the jardini does get really aggressive killer i guess i'll have to be getting another aro either the black/blue or silver for the main display tank... i like the jard though.., i had him since 1-2" when he looks like a crappy looking $50 fish that was the last one in the lfs and the beat up runt (the smallest) out of the group they had...
