it's a beautiful fish:)

i had a pair but they were to aggressive towards my oscar.
maybe i missed it but do the jags have their own tank?
how big tank do the need?

yes they have there own tank. with their aggressiveness during spawning they would kill any tankmate i put in with them. i even have to have a divider handy to keep him from hurting her should she not be in the mood. so far she has been able to hold her own with him but at the rate hes growing it wont be long before she cant.
they're house in a 125 right now and i will have a 180 waiting for them if they outgrow the one they are in now.

necro, i read these fish can get to 20inches, is this true?
i also read that oscars wont stand a chance once the jag reaches maturity or decides he wants to breed.
i think their such nice looking fish, but to much work for me.

yes your right male jags can grow anywhere between 16-22 inches when mature(though i have never seen any bigger than 18 inches personally) . the females a little smaller (around 12 inches) .

there are not many fish that can handle a breeding pair of jags. even the few there are, would find themselves in a life and death battle when the jags spawned. there are a few meaner fish on the market but not many. what captivated me about them is the personality and attitude. they are almost as personable as oscars but 100 times nastier.

as for the work load its only another hour on water change day and i really like the look of them
