difference between jag bloodlines

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
Managuense do, in fact have a wide variety of shades and colors. There's not a way where you can classify all of the variety by locale. The fish we collected from Honduras had a broad band of blue along their spine....this predominantly in the male. Females were banana yellow. Fish collected in Nicaragua were much darker. Then from another lake....I have fish now from Lago Xiola....the males are much more yellow. Fish in the same group, could turn almost black if stressed. And just when you think you've seen it all, you get Managuense from the Mosquito Coast that are literally green! IMHO it's one of the things that makes the hobby interesting. Personally I would love to have one of the Xanthic fish in my collection.

So yes...it's likely that they came from different locales.

The pseudo canines you see are the largest of a row of teeth that you can see. As shown in the skull above, they do have other teeth. You will see wild fish with larger teeth. I think tank raised fish don't need them and most...many...lose them after time.

Love managuense. One of my favorites.

Very cool makes me want one :)
Do the pseudo canines eventually grow back? Any teeth my loisellie seem too. One day I'll see a tooth be there the next gone and vice versa.
