Posted	jaguar cichlids
01-04-2006 21:10 by PAUL OWEN	I just got a pair of jaguar cichlids,a breeding pair in fact,for nothing.Does anyone keep these and know much about them?Heres a pic of them.
01-04-2006 21:26 by PAUL OWEN	can't upload pics,can anyone tell me how,please?
01-04-2006 22:04 by PAUL OWEN	done it now,here they are...
01-04-2006 22:37 by michael hinson	be careful they grow large and aggressive they will eat anything that will fit in their deceptivly large mouth(its reticulated i think)
01-04-2006 22:43 by PAUL OWEN	Hi Mike,been backwards and forwards tru this site to keep looking at replies(can't keep up!)As i said i don't know much about them! The male is 12" and female is 10-11" how big do they grow to?
01-04-2006 22:56 by michael hinson	i had one about 14" ate my catfish(feather fin syno) so they have no fear(or brains)it about killed him got one now about 8" soft as s***e wont bother my oscar or synos
01-04-2006 23:21 by PAUL OWEN	Hi Mike again, Keep replying in different topics...Nice markings on yours some larger areas of black than on mine,have you ever bred from them or have you not kept any pairs?
01-04-2006 23:27 by michael hinson	never kept pairs got this one in a community tank so brreding not really an option but i would think that breeding will be a hard process as i think they are selective not prolific breeders(dont quote me though)
01-04-2006 23:37 by PAUL OWEN	Well i just picked up this pair and the guy said they're always laying eggs about 500 or so,now whether any pair would breed this well,or whether this pair have selected each other for life ,i don't know,i haven't bred anything myself(only had them a week),but they are aggressive like you said, especially when the eggs have laid the male will take my hand off(would'nt like to play with him then..... )so i could end up with loads of young here,if it actually does there'll be some free fish if anyone wants some!
01-04-2006 23:48 by PAUL OWEN	anyway heres a pic of the male...
01-04-2006 23:49 by PAUL OWEN	and now the female......
02-04-2006 14:40 by tony mcculloch	hello paul. you have set me off reading about the jaguar cichlid and i have found them really interesting.have never really considered keeping american cichlids because of the size they can reach, but have seriously considered trying to get myself a pair of jaguars (cichlids), are they easy to find? cheers
02-04-2006 20:37 by PAUL OWEN	Hi Tony, i got mine of the ads here,i have seen a few more advertised since then,just keep looking!They are playful until they lay eggs,i'm supposed to play with the male before i feed them,so far they are not attacking me for no reason.Good luck in your search!
02-04-2006 20:37 by Lexter	hi Paul, how you doing mate?

02-04-2006 22:29 by PAUL OWEN	Tony i've just seen an ad in the Recently listed ads section entitled 'Cichlid Give Away' might be some thing in there for you,there is even a 6" Jag!
02-04-2006 22:49 by tony mcculloch	seen it bud, but too far. will ask my lfs if he can pick up a couple of babies, or wait till something closer to home pops up. still need to set up some tanks yet. cheers mate. will let you know if i get a pair.
