Is Jaguar The Toughest Indestructible Cichlid?

Yep, my 6 inches Jag is a wuss, it's loss all the fights to any fishes and recently a smaller Jag half of it size beat him up so bad. So to answer your question it's depend on each personality.
I've had one for a few months in a big tank, and he's nothing but trouble. Just like you describe, relentless. He gets whipped, it's like it didn't happen an hour later--he's right back to trying to take over the tank. He has no respect for bigger/more dominant fish, he keeps half of a big tank empty for himself, the rest of the fish get the other half. He does it through pure persistence.
+1 on personality. I have a 6 inch one who out of no where became a wuss. I have 5" green terrors taking territory from him and out competing him for food. Even my 4 inch rainbow cichlid gets food before he does.
you are headed to disaster, 120g? those fish? allot find fish beating up each other a fun thing, I am not one. i have a jag tank, and jags only, in a 145. they are a mated pair, I have to put a divider in between spawns or male kill the female. your fish to small to sex ATM IMHO.
enjoy the cage fight, not my cup of tea.

Are you kidding me jaguar is lower on the list they are tough but not the meanest I would either say a dovii or a umbee for mean cichlids. I would say jack dempsey or a red devil for tough cichlids but what are really tough are nicaragua cichlids theres a caresheet on animal world about them thats pretty interesting. Also dont get me wrong jaguars are still pretty mean fish with some sharp teeth to.
Calm down there. There is no cage fight here, this is just about my aggressive Jaguar Cichlid among its peaceful tank mates. They are still babies and the 120G isn't a life long tank for them.
Exactly what I'm talking about!
He just doesn't understand defeat and conquers through persistence.
When you have your tank setup that jag will be a gonner, those snakehead will out grow the Jag in few months and that Jag will become their target food source after light out! unless miracle happened both of your snakeheads are female
unless miracle happened both of your snakeheads are female Parachromis are pretty tough as a whole, but i'm talking about adapting to change along with dealing with injury. Attitude wise it just all depends on the individual.
Oscars are pretty freaking tough as well. Look at the conditions most of these guys survive through in pet shops & irresponsible owners. They're like the betta fish of the cichlid world.
