Cuban or Jaguar cichlid?

[burzumaske20]

Bought this little one,that was in the small tank,listed as a Cuban,also they had some vieja's with it,but this was the only one I found in that tank.They look exactly like Jaguars it seems,so I just want to make sure if this is a Cuban or Jaguar thanks.

Looks Cuban to me.

I think the lighting in my tank is pretty deceiving at times,when he was in the smaller tank,it brought out the white and black patches.

Hard to tell for sure from the pics but the little guy does look like a Cuban. It's not so much the color as the face I'm basing my I.D. on. Jag's even at a small size have pretty big mouths for the size while Cuban's mouth's run smaller proportionitely. And this guy's mouth looks Cuban to me, though as I said it's hard to tell from the pics.

Cuban!

sweet,thank you.Sometimes petstores have certain fishes in the wrong tank,but I never knew that jaguars and cubans would look so much alike.

they dont really.
a jaguar would have a lateral line, huge eyes and mouth and more broken up spots.
Also little jags usually have a bright royal purple sheen on them and generally pretty torn up fins from eachother
