A tank divider while he grows a bit more, or his own tank for awhile.
Pretty soon, once he's bigger, he'll get his share or someone will get hurt ;)

75 gal
4 baby jacks
1 5 inch JD
2 convict
1 common pleco
1 spotted pictus cat
2 baby jaguars (managuense)
What are you planning to do when your forced to split up this tank?
Larger and or more tank(s)?
The two Jaguars (Managuense) will need 90-100+gals for themselves, if, if they'll get along together.
The JD's will also likely outgrow the 75gal, I would only do 1-2 (depending on temperament) or a mated pair of JD's (then the convicts would have to go).

I just noticed your loose 30Gal, let the Jag's (Mag's) grow for awhile in there.
all of the fish are very small all about an inch or 2 at the most exept for the one 5 inch jack and the pictus is about 4", pleco 6". im waiting for two of the JDs to pair up and the the rest are going to my buddy as for the convicts the wife had to have them. when i move in may im going to buy a 180g tank after the house is situated. for the managuenses and the JDs and so on that should be plenty of space to grow and find there territories. the 75g is only temp till i move, once i move the convicts will be in the 30g that will free up some space for a while.
ChileRelleno how did you go about getting your tank specs on a page like that?

Enter your info in "Members Aquarium Specs" and then follow the directions in the sticky, http://www.aquariacentral.com/forums/showthread.php?t=44.

what i think is a good tank is a 125 gallon with 100 neon tetras 3 oscars a saltwater moray eel
:eek: those are expensive feeders (the tetras for the oscars and eal)

Once you get the 180 you will have enough space between that and the 75 and the 30.
