SparkyNat Posted January 9, 2008 Report Share Posted January 9, 2008 Jaguars just started laying eggs do i leave them in the tank or take them out since there in a tank with a few other fish? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ryanjury Posted January 9, 2008 Report Share Posted January 9, 2008 How agro are they getting? I would be worried about other tank mates because they can be big and nasty.. Maybe move the other fish or sort out some sort of divider? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SparkyNat Posted January 9, 2008 Author Report Share Posted January 9, 2008 There not 2 bad they seem scared of my 2 big oscars but the others are just staying away from them all together. How long will they stays angry for? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ryanjury Posted January 9, 2008 Report Share Posted January 9, 2008 I have never kept them myself I presume they will stay protective while their eggs are still there and if they get free swimming it will probably get worse Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SparkyNat Posted January 9, 2008 Author Report Share Posted January 9, 2008 Yeah i think i might not put any fish in the new tank and just move everyone else but them over. I dont have rock caves in my tank ive made them from bogwood instead so i have plently of caves for the others to hide in for now im just amazed by how many eggs they are laying . Ive only had these 2 for a couple of days now but the oscars seem to be trying to spawn also. My house is turning into a zoo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David R Posted January 9, 2008 Report Share Posted January 9, 2008 They must be small jags (and big oscars) if they're scared of the oscars!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SparkyNat Posted January 9, 2008 Author Report Share Posted January 9, 2008 Yeah jags are only about 10cm each and the oscars about 30cm each, the oscars seem to enjoy tormenting them at the moment its rather funny to watch Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
[email protected] Posted January 10, 2008 Report Share Posted January 10, 2008 once the jags get to full size or maybe bigger at least they will turn on any tank mates especially when breeding while they are this small they wont be too much trouble but they wld other wise kill any other tank mates normally.. eggs would be fine so long as other tank mates cant get to themthough the parents do tend to eat them once they are free swimming so it would be prudent to place them in a separate tank I know that diff_girl keeps mature Jags and they had young that are around 4/5 months now and her and her partner are looking to start up another Jag tank...
