KM Posted March 5, 2005 Report Share Posted March 5, 2005 For a long time now I have been looking for a male jaguar cichlid for my gorgeous 4 year old female. To date, I have had no sucess! Then yesterday, I popped into Hollywood, and they had a number of teeny baby jags in one of their plant tanks, but they weren't for sale! After a bit of convincing, I walked out of the store with 4 teeny babies (all smaller than a 5c piece), all given to me by lovely Rob. Hopefully I will be able to take some pics and upload then (when I can figure out how!) Now I just have to get the little things to grow. Very exciting, in my opinion, there is nothing quite as impressive as a full grown jag pair! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Caryl Posted March 6, 2005 Report Share Posted March 6, 2005 Nothing so destructive either!! :lol: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ira Posted March 6, 2005 Report Share Posted March 6, 2005 I'd love a jag...If I had a tank for it to have on its own. But then I'd be annoyed at having a tank with only 1 fish... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KM Posted March 7, 2005 Author Report Share Posted March 7, 2005 Well, out of the 4 babies, I will only keep two. So if anyone is interested in taking on some jags at some stage, let me know via PM. These guys are really little, so they will probably stay with me until the end of the year or thereabouts. Actually Caryl, I haven't found the jags to be as destructive as they are made out to be! Maybe it is more a case of luck than anything else. I don't feed them live food, which may also contribute to my females placid nature.

Nilocagain Posted March 7, 2005 Report Share Posted March 7, 2005 Just saw my first pair(breeding) tonight. Very impresive indeed, lovely looking fish and another tank full of young(to almost over full). I have directed their owners to this sit. Hope to see them and all there tanks here soon.

treehugga Posted March 10, 2005 Report Share Posted March 10, 2005 The male is supposed to have more pointed dorsal and anal fins, my pair tend to follow this theory. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
