75 for a female,but 125+ gallon for a full grown male..the males get huge and need alot of space

siiick fish! yeah i was advised ideal size would be 100+ gallon....traded my baby in for a green terror. Only cause i would have a better chance with a gt n oscar in my 60 gal...rather than oscars and jag...

also i heard jags are extremely mean

Mine lived in a 125. He just never got that big, and lives happily in a 55 now.

Ideally, just from observing them, the size males can reach, and having kept other Parachromis, I would say male 180, female 125.

I'd say 75 for female 60 x 18 footprint for a male

It really depends on the fish. I think a lot of people replying here have never kept them. I'm all about giving fish plenty of room, but over 100g for one male? If you want to, fine, but it isn't necessary.

I think 75 gallons is good for 1 female. I think a 90 gallon aquarium would work for 1 male.

Would that mean that I could only have the jag or can I have others in the same tank
