I'm not sure about this, still looking for real answers from somebody who knows a lot about Jags....but I THINK that "Honduran" Jags are black and white with a subdued gold tint on their body and blue in dorsal fins, and a bigger thicker barring in the black / white pattern.

The Nicaraguan Jags are a brighter white, with less or no gold tint in the body. They have a very fine/tiny black and white pattern on the body.

This is a picture from Mo Devlin of one of his "Honduran" Jags. http://www.thephotoforum.com/threads/jaguar-cichlid.136213/


A Nicaraguan, is I think more like the one in the video below.


Now, if I could find one with the very fine black / white pattern like in that youtube clip, I'd buy a 180 today and grow some out--they're awesome. I just don't know what collection point to look for.

I've seen this video before. He's a beautiful specimen. I actually just heard back from Jeff from TUIC (I sent him another message. He got back a few days ago from being away a week and I guess my original note got lost in the shuffle). At any rate he said he IS getting 4-5 inch jags in next week and he's always been aware of the origin of the fish I've ordered. If you do decide to order from him he'd probably be able to give you as good any answer as anybody as to geographical differences. Great guy to do business who's been importing cichlids for a long time and really knows his stuff.
 
I love Rapps, but the CA cichlid selection isn't as great as it used to be. Hopefully that will change one day.
Sometimes I think he should change the name to Tangled up in catfish lol.
COA is pretty good, but you have to buy $100 worth of fish. It would be fine if I'm completely restocking. But most of their cichlids are larger types, and I just don't have a few 300gs just laying around (I wish lol). They never have any thorichthys species, which is a fish I would buy in groups and would easily spend that much.
Wet Spot stock selection looks awesome, but have no experience there.

Just ship 'em on over to him, Greg. I'm sure he'd pay shipping for some Jags.

I recently lost my 10 year old F1 Nicaraguan male managuense and I'm having an unexpectedly difficult time tracking down another one online that's bigger than a couple inches. I usually deal with Tangledupincichlids but there's nothing listed and I checked out CichlidsoftheAmericas. I've also been checking in on the MFK vendors with no luck. Can anybody point me in the direction of a good online seller with quality stock? Unfortunately I live in the boonies so checking out local pet stores isn't an option. Ideally I want a confirmed male in the 5-7 inch range. Thanks for any help.
