Inbreeding in Jags and wild vs tank raised
- Thread starter winston.smith

color wise female jags almost always look blotchy and bleached. I think the domesticated bloodlines have a nicer appearance due to the eye of man selectively breeding more stunning specimens.
Interesting. I dont have enough experience with these fish -in the wild, to know one way or the other. The reason I associated the two was bc I saw a male from the same batch (as my female) and it also had lighter base ,,and a more coagulated black patterning --with fading to lighter brown above and below that central lateral line.
But I may be completely wrong.
Look at Oscars, they come in many shades naturally.
This is a wild pair from Honduras:

I love these guys. They attack when I rearranged the cave this morning.. but his digging had destabilized the whole thing and I was worried it would come down..
but I managed to keep him at bay and set it up securely.

Gotta love managuense, they are some of the most notorious diggers right behind amphilophus IME.
