JD questions

[jetajockey]

Sounds like they are approx 2 to 3 months old. Are you asking for suitable tank mates for them in a 10g?

Jw do You think a bigger jd would eat a smaller one?

Put a mirror in front of the tank see if they color up, don't leave it there though, look at my tank pics and you can have some ideas on what to put in there. Just ask I have had a few jacks

If the other was small enough to fit in it mouth I'm sure it would, mine eats gold fish a lot but dosnt really mess with my convicts that are a little bit bigger than the gold fish

Yea thats what i figured i was breeding them but the male killed the female so i bought 3 little jacks hoping to get another female oit of the three i have the 3 in a 40 breeder but i would like to put them in with the male just a little leary of it

No, and I have had 10inch jack with a 4 inch and no problems, The Jack I have is not aggressive at all though but then again I have not seen a really aggressive one yet, I am sure they are out there though. I would mix the sizes, I have babies in with my fish, I just took them out with the new peacock though, since he ate live fish all the time and they are the same color as my Red Zebra babies I figured I would not chance it at least right now, I like their mother too much and they are a really cool fish, they have grown in the tank since first born. They are just about 1.5 inches now with tail and everything.
