I bought it as a 1/2" jaguar cichlid, but as it got bigger it never turned purple, always this light Gold color. Is it a jaguar or something else? It's about 7 inches now. Also male or female?
Mine have grown some since my last posting here. As the patterns come through I'm more confused than ever about species.
Ps. These pictures were taken minutes before a water change. I stirred up the water moving plants around
Ya, but it works for now. Plus the loaches "clean" her after she eats and I'd swear she likes it. My tiger loach sticks his head in her mouth. Scares me sometimes but it's been a working relationship for months now....
Not yet. He ignores the loaches that are smaller than the shiners he eats, but eventually I'll separate the potential foodies. Leaving him, my 2 PBass, Jaguar, clownknife, sailfin pleco and MAYBE my 3 senegal's.

I know I'm late to the party, but 90% of the time anywhere in the US, dealing with crocadilians, you need a permit, as they fall under the dangerous animal clause. I wish you the best of luck in your endevours, but housing anything you dont intend to be food at some point for a caiman is not a...
Weird enough mine did not like to eat either, I added two 1 inch peacock bass and when he saw them eating like pigs, he became a voracious eater and was determined to beat the peacocks to food.
why is it when you click on the monsteraquarianetwork.store link, the only merch available is a hat? No shirts? or Jackets? I thought the fight against monster energy rights on "monster" was over. I seriously would love to order shirts supporting MFK. a clown knife shirt, or peacock bass, hell a...
I'm wondering if that's what I have, I rescued them from Petco, some kid wanted to put them in a bowl so I bought them before he could. They are just over 2" now.
