LOL thanks they say 2 feet is more common!awesome! can't wait to see him when he's three feet long
Nuff said, Listen to Lupin...Trust me. I also believed that I have warned you before about 2-3 months ago when you were asking about your stock. :irked:
That jardini living with other fish up till now will not guarantee the safety of your other fish, as Xiaoyu has proven. Also, don't let your guard down because your other fish are bigger than the jar, when the jar wants, it can easily kill them. Read that thread lupin gave a link to very carefully. For the sake of your other fish, I hope all goes well.
Lupin is also correct about its size and the 18'' width of your 125 is not big enough to house that jar for life. They are far less flexible than silvers so they require a much bigger width. Jar owners at MFK recommend a 6ft length and a 2.5ft width minimum for a fully grown jar. Good luck

Looks like a very nice fish...good luck with him. I'm sure they can help you quite a bit over at MFK if you ask over there. Seems more have them.
Actually, I don't see anything wrong with keeping a fish on a shorter term basis if you can find a new home for the fish later on. Some people keep fish for a short time and then re-home them for new fish. Lets them keep a greater variety of fish then people who keep their fish longer term.
If you want to go this route, I do think you need to make sure that someone will take your fish later on when you don't feel like keeping them anymore. What I'm heard about the jardini, doesn't sound like it's a easy fish to re-home at larger sizes.

now, lets be nice. if BFK doesnt feel like taking our advice, then that's his problem.
lets not have this thread get out of hand again please.
BFK, i might recommend that you listen to the majority of posters in this thread. we're not here for our health.

It's not fair to assume that someone will always be there to correct your bad decisions. If you don't have the capacity to home a fish long term (aka permanently), leave it it the store and re-think your stocking decisions.
BFK: For the sake of your other fish, I hope your jardini is as much of a pussycat as you say it is.
