I think it's the way they're shaped, the Jacks don't see them as competition. there are many setups that may work for one or 2 people, but in general they are a bad idea. this is such an example. while keeping angels and JD's together in a 55 might have worked for one person, this is not something that will work often. 9/10 times the JD's (especially if they start breeding) will wind up killing the much slower and defenseless angels.
