	jaugar getting kicked
Johnny the Oranda Enthusiast Posts: 237 Kudos: 237 Votes: 82 Registered: 01-Mar-2005	I bought a jaguar and i almost didnt cause i was afraid he might be too agressive in my tank but i put him in anyway, hes about 4 inches long, the second largest fish in the tank, well my leporinus, my two convicts, and the red terror are just kicking his and now i have to set up a quarintine tank, is there anything i can do to stop this? The leporinus is larger but the other fish are like 2-3 inches long. And there in a 75 for now although i know they will outgrow the tank.

The fish already there have set up their own territories and so will defend them against any new comers. Moving the decor will force the fish to get new territories and give th jaguar a chance to establish itself. Good Luck
