I would say that the only suitable tankmate would be a female, you might have to keep a divider on hand to keep them from roughing each other up too much. The jag by nature is piscivourous so thinking you can keep another fish with it in all likely hood is just getting an expensive feeder.
This is a very aggressive fish also,
try a Google search on it, lots of info to be obtained.
Cheers.
Nasty, nasty fish. They might beat up a Jag, and the two are too big to be plopped down in a 125.

This kind of question, I think it is best that you ask predatorcichlid, one of the members here.
IMO, GT, Con, JD, Texas cichlid, and Salvini will get killed. Unless you have a 180g tank, they PROBABLY will survive. All these cichlids have been overated regarding their temper.
IMO, cichlids that will survive Jag are Midas, Red Devil, Buttikoferi, Trimac, some Vieja, other kind of Parachromis, Red Terror (festae), Beani, Haitiensis, and some other more aggressive cichlids. However, have to take 125g tank into consideration. If you want Buttikoferi, that thing will grow to 16". 2 big fishes in that 125g tank...I don't know how well that can work. Unless you have planned to put in divider, one that can hold their charges and weight.

I would go for the pair, If you ever get tired of them you could sell them to a LFS and make money. That and I bet there are a lot more people that want jag fry than convict fry. You might even make money on that. Just more work.
i havent given up yet. whats a beani and Haitiensis never heard of them. midas and red devils just look funny to me. red terror is very cool looking
dividers IMO are pointless if the fish are not compatible then dont put them in the same tank. thats why i asked this question

The guys on www.predatoryfish.net/ibforums can tell you much more about these things...these are fish with which many of us are unfamiliar, I suspect. Haitiensis (Black Nasties) are evil, rarer fish that live in brackish water.
