henward Posted December 19, 2007 Report Share Posted December 19, 2007 added 2 slver dollars, full sized, 1 spotted metynis(7 cms) 1 appolo shark. the apolo shark got totally wasted, moved it away to my discuss tank to recover and have a happier life but silver dollars were attacked initiallyand pursued slightly, jus tlike the tinfoils and flagtail then the aggression became less and less, untill it doesnt bother anymore interesting.

henward Posted December 24, 2007 Author Report Share Posted December 24, 2007 lol sad news i saws my silver dollars and thought, they not very active, strange. so i left a camera filming and when i left, the jar starts chasing the silver dollars , just once in 30 mins, but thats probably why they dont like to swim around. though the tinfoils and flagtail and s metynis isnt harassed at all anymore, i had to move my silver dollars:( lucky i had a spare tank but oh well, nothing ventured nothing gained. i dont think its jsut the jar, it hink its the size of tank mates, if they are relatively small and fast, he doesnt see them as a threat and too fast to be food. but if its bigger like a g gourami at one stage, i think the jar sees it as competition for food etc. so lesson learnt, when flagtail and tinfoils get bigger. must relocate. in conclusion, jars can have tank mates perhaps only when circumstances are right, but circumstances change as fish get bigger and seem more of a threat of space and food as i have seen. shame though, it looked cool having silver dollars with jardinii.
