HOW DO I BOOST COLOR ON MY JAGUAR???!!!

There's nothing better to bring out color than large frequent water changes and a varied diet.

I think he's right. I have tried everything to get good color and the only thing that makes any significant difference is more water changes, as I already do big water changes. I fed my motaguense all kinds of stuff to bring out color, especially foods high in the red pigment. Didn't and haven't seen much there. When I started doubling his 60% waterchanges to get his tail to heal faster I noticed a greater color improvement. I'm sold. It just works your butt off.

When I got my jag I looked for the darkest one in the tank. He was just at 1.5" when I got him.

Here is my 10.5" big bad boy.
My avatar is of the same fish, taken last year.

So true. That's the rule I keep by. My fish have a longer menu than I, and their water cycles out at least once a week. I don't even bother with any other "tricks".
