14-16". not a torn fin or missing scale between them

Jars can be comm together. Some people just don't take the risk because they been hearing and reading about other people saying that they can't be comm. If asian aros can be comm, why not jars. Greens and RTGs are even more aggressive than jars in my experience. You will never find out if you don't experience it.

I've done it for 8 years and still no problem.

Just about any fish can be kept in a community if it's the right combination and right size tank. They look really nice. What size tank is that? And do they share it with anything else?

How long have they been together?

I was speaking from my experience and education, the one I did own I resuced the person who had it before had kept it with a peacock bass and it killed it. Then being an idiot kept it with a rohm thinking the rohm would eat it, but it got killed to. Then it would bite my ornate every time it went for a breath, but only ever frayed a fin once or twice, he was fine with it as long as it wasnt in his part of the tank. I had always just assumed that it would be the same story with other arrows.

I am now closing this thread as it seems it was only posted to incite arguments. People are free to disagree for sure. Jardinis are one of those fish that will never be agreed upon. It all boils down to the individual. However, I have seen and heard of more instances where they are overly aggressive than not. Things can change quickly. Fish may seem fine at first, but over the long haul it can be drastically different.

In my own experience, a 19" Jardini had killed or nearly killed every fish ever kept with it, including A. citrinellum and A. trimaculatus. The tank it was in was plenty large. The same-sized tank is now housing a newly purchased 6" juvenile...that is currently chasing and nipping at anything and everything in the tank, even dithers more than twice it's size. I'm sure in time, it will end up completely by iteself as my larger one was.

Personal experiences differ...case closed.
