So I picked up a 14 inch jag a few weeks ago and posted a pic on here, most people thought it was a male. I have never seen this huge jag show any signs of aggression, it really is a gentle giant. I was at the LFS a few days ago and found what looked like a female 9 inch jag all beat up in a tank with some red devils. I picked up the jag and hoped she would work out in my tank as a rescue.

Long story short TWO DAYS later the jag I thought was male was female, the female turned out to be a male and now I have 1000 gold looking eggs in my tank.

I have never breed any fish before so my question is what do you guys typically do with all of the fry? I have a 20 gallon tank I can transfer them into when the times is right, but I am still not sure what to do with them all.
 
I got really excited when I first got a few hundreds of Jaguar fry. And the bigger the female, the larger the batch. After 6 months, you will have a few thousands ... :D

I gave them up a long time ago, and never look back because I had no way to dispose them even though a pair of Jaguar is an awesome sight.

These fry will survive under any condition. They won't die unless you intentionally kill them. And after a few months, what size of tank you want to house a few hundred of these?

I traded in my pair of Jag and roughly about 6-700 fry of 3 batch to a local fish store for $20 worth of fish food.

A year later, my local craigslist were full of Jag fry posts people tried to "re-home" ...

Guess where they came from ... :D
