hi guys hes a pic off my jag and its growen heaps since i last posted so do you think its going to be a male or female....cheers

hi guys heres a update pic off my jag its grown about another inch in about 3 wks any idears if its a he/she thanks

cheers some good info you guys are giving me ill probley have just wood in there for cover a few nice flat rocks and a big cave for him as i like the minimal look and more open space for him/she to swim around...one thing ive notices is he/shes a pig when it comes to food, it stuffs its face before and other fish can even get a bite in so i have to distract him so the others can eat lol thanks buccal and to everyone else

no problems ill give them away on gumtree

is that what hes doing! i think ill have to get rid off the rosy barbs because there not resting at night and its not fair to them (anyone want 8 off them lol) hes getting good with his stalking. so is this what jags do stalk there pray? also do they prefer plant cover or a more bare tank with a few pce off wood and a big cave? 

thanks mate ill have to move the jag soon as he playing a game at night where he hides in the plant and rushes at the rosy barbs and freaks them out lol

thanks buccal i had to laugh at you comment (That thing will grow like the clappers and swallow the hell out of everything before you know it.) im aware off that, he or she has a lge 125gal tank waiting all for themselves i only put the jag in there because it was so young. i have allready noticed how much it has grown in three wks as it has doubled in size as ive been giving lots of clean water and good quality food..cheers mate

thanks malawinman85 i think its female too, ive noticed a purple sheen on certain angles

hi guy can anyone tell me if this is going to be a male or female jaguar cichlid? i know its a bit young but what do you think..cheers

heres a pic

hes living with 8 rosy barbs and a female convict only because hes small at the moment i guess one day the rosys will be dinner lol its the convict he mostly shakes at

buccal i think he maybe a she but its a little early to tell. ill try and get a pic up

awesome thanks buccal i thought he was starting to show whos boss ill have to keep a eye on him because hes practising stalking too as he hides in the plants and launches out lol thanks for the info.....cheers mate

hi i have a young jag cichlid whos settleled into his tank very nicely, hes in my 55gal just for a a little while then ill put him into the 125gal aquarium i have running when he gets bigger, he has a spot with a driftwood hollow he likes to go in but lately when a fish goes near his spot he shakes his head at them and his colours darken, so is this normal? thanks

ok cool ill feed him twice a day, hes seems always hungry i carnt wait for him to start getting bigger...

pet magic cannington has them but their pricy $300

ive just bought some hikari cichlid gold baby pellets hopefull tonight he will eat them. so how offer should i feed him?

heres a pic off him man he just wouldnt stay still lol

one more thing what should i be feeding this gut as hes very sml but i want to get him off to a good start hes not that keen on pellets as he sucks them in and then spits them out and so on and then just drops then but blood worms....wow hes like a madman on them trying to get every single one also how offen should i be feeding him as hes only a tiny....thanks

yes

malawiman85

i think fh have way to many problems so i gave him to someone who can relly look after him plus he got a 6ft all for him self, i saw a baby jaguar cichlid when i was out and snaped him up he awesome, such a funny little fellow he follows me thru the tank hopefully ill have alot more luck with this little guy, as too breeding them i would love that but i heard it can be very dangrous for them as they get quite agressive.

i have been watching alot off youtube clips on them and breeding time looks more like a battle lol thanks...

cool thanks guys hes so tiny in the big tank lol

hi just bought a sml baby jaguar cichlid and hes in my 125 gal tank now i was wondering is there anything special i need to know about keeping this fish, what food should i be feeding a juv jaguar? what about water changes? and any other possible info that might be usefull cheers guys

no thanks tunagirll thanks for the offer but i gave the flowerhorn to a guy i know who has a spare 6ft tank all for him and has over 30 yrs experience in keeping lge cichlids and he reconds he will get him well so i did whats best for the fish as he was a cool fish like a little buddy ive just got a jaguar cichlid to fill the gap and is in my 125 gal tank...

well i must say im very disapointed with some off the comments made on here,and i never new flowerhorns arnt allowed on this web site so ill be leaving and i dont think ill be back again. to the ppl that offered advice i thank you.....
