Crazy mike

I agree with what your saying. But as for my situation my jags 6" red terror and electric yellow are 4" loach is 3"

Most of the time my jag is hanging out under his driftwood. When he does come out he sometime chases his tank mates but hasn't so much even gotten a tail fin. As for chasing them into there hides he hasn't ever done that. He only protects his territory. And when he does wonder around he doesn't get real aggressive. Maybe he's not just a real killer! And I can catch him easily with a small net. I'm lucky to catch the terror with 2 nets half the water gone and all the decor out of the tank!

pretty juvi jag, Female?

Not arguing or anything just saying what I observe with my male and the jags I and my father have had in the past. My boy was like yours up until it hit around 10. Up until that point it lived with a butti and a male JD both of which where at least 8 years at the time. Once it hit that size it decided it wanted the whole tank as its own and everything else was basically a tenant. It patrolled the entire tank and still does. The butti has since passed of old age but the jag had no qualms about making it move it giving it a chase and more than once took a bite at tail fins or the fish itself. With jags you don't know what you've got until their adult sized. Cause I've seen some who were young killers mellow out once full grown and the exact opposite as well. I just personally like to be on the cautious side with parachromis

nice looking boy. here is a rather bad pic of my girl. she is approaching the 7" mark and her colors are really starting to show, losing the juvi strips.

 
like a JD there dorsal fins and ventral will be more round off on the trailing edge if a female and more pointed on a male, males also get larger and have a flatter forehead slope.

Thanks but he's not a monster yet. Every old huge male jag I've seen looks like a swimming football. Old large males look stunning and he's got years to go before he hits that look

naa, an oscar is a swimming football, jags more like captain Nemo,s ship, the Nautilus.
 
Since I can't figure out how to link YouTube videos on mobile here's a snapshot of a video I found on YouTube. This is what a true monster jag should be
