After picking up 6 Rio Niltepec trimac juveniles a while back in an attempt to end up with a pair failed, due to all of the surviving group being male, I decided to try my hand at a group of Honduran jaguars. I just bought a group of 8 from Dan at COA. 8 better be enough to end up with a pair this time around!
I took these with my phone right out of the bag, but you can see the amount of blue in their fins even at this smaller size. I’m excited to see what they look like as adults. I’ll update this thread periodically with pics. They’re pretty skittish now, although they did stay out while I fed the tank this morning. Hoping that begins to be the norm sooner rather than later.
Please excuse the glass as I had just put these guys in and didn’t want to scare them further by cleaning it up right then. The trimacs were very determined to splash the entire 125 gallons onto the floor when I got them out earlier.

Wow a couple of those are extra nice! I look forward to their progress.
