Best Jaguar Cichlid of MFK award (Parachromis managuensis)
- Thread starter ---XR---
- Start date
I voted for Jumbo, but it was a hard decision. They are all flipping awesome in different ways. XR summed it up in the first post.
Maybe I'll get a good pic of my twelve incher, "Tiny". I don't think he's quite in the same class as these, but he's pretty awesome too. If my nine inch male was as big as the others in this thread, he might have a shot at the title. He's got an awful lot of purple on his sides and a lot of blue in his fins. I'll try to get some decent pics up soon.
And thanks, XR, for starting this thread. I'm a relative newcomer to MFK and hadn't seen a couple of these fishes. And another thanks is in order for the keepers of these awesome fishes. They have obviously taken a lot of time and care to raise such awesome specimens.

Keep in mind those pics are helped to look more attractive by the photographers that took them. Meaning a good photographer/camera can mean the difference between appealing and not. The xanthic never really had that level shot taken of it I don't think. And even though you might not find it attractive others might so possibly why the other votes?
Honestly I can't say if they were all in front of me in real life,(to the common fishkeeper) that there's a difference in most of them besides photographers and variants. They're all large jags. Really you can't decifer a winner.
I could be one sided and vote for who I know, or whatever. But keeping it real they're all nice.

Ok let's make a hypothetical situation. Let's say your pet Jag recently died and you go to your LFS to get a new one. When you get there, you see the 4 Jags pictured here for sale...but you have enough space and budget for only 1 of them. Which one would you get???

It was wasn't it.. I should be a prick and say "The xanthic one" lol
Honestly between 1 and 3.. they're all nice, I just prefer the regular/less colorful jag.
