Some of you may remember I posted a question if there where different types of Jags. Well I went ahead and bought him and it has taken about a week to get a picture. He is just now starting to recognize me and not be to afraid. When in the store his body was more silver and his tale was more dark blue. the tail still has a blueish tint but more black. Since then his colors have darkened and he looks more normal except the white dots on his tail. I tried to get pic. The girl at the LFS said it was a different type of Managuen but she didn't know which type. Now that he has darkened up I think it is a normal Jag. I still think he is pretty cool looking. I keep saying he because I think the fins look like a he but please correct me if i am wrong. I am not new to cichlids but I am relatively new to Jags all though I have done tons of research. Anyways check out the the tail pic it is the best I could get. The white dots I have not seen on other Jags.

The red dots are blood worms this was during feeding this morning.

At that size it's a toss up on sex but looks like it could be male. Nice jag either way

Size is 12" lol just kidding. Actually between 3" and 4" I am guessing I have not measured him. I figured he would be to small to tell.

that guy who exaggerated his jags size, his legacy lives on with the jokes lmao I love it. aye this jag is beautiful so cute at that age. hope he grows up to be a savage
 
Can't wait to see it in about 6 months.... Nice Juvie
 
Thanks all I think he/she is a beauty also. And yeah I just had to crack the joke :)

This video is what got me into jags. I think it is the most stunning fish I have ever seen. Do both males and females get that patterning on the fins. this is what i am hoping for.

Here's to hoping its a male then. I guess it doesn't matter I was hoping for a male "wet pet" but if its a female then I could keep it with my JD and FM, maybe. So I guess there are positives both ways.
