Is there a yellow Jaguar Cichlid?

[baisley101]

I'm sorry, but I'm new to the South American Cichlids. I saw a pic somwhere on the net of a beautiful bright yellow fish that looked very much like a Jaguar. Do they exist?

It's known as a Xanthic, have a look here.

yellow heads

I dont think yellow heads are really jags. If they were anything other than new fish, they would be freddies or loissels

it could be a freddy or normal morph mota

 

[D-Train]

It could be a xanthic jag, Loisellei, regular Motaguense, Friedrichsthalii, or a sp. "La Ceiba" yellow head.

There are several other species in the same genus as jags (Parachromis) that look similar.

Sounds like a GOLD morph- xanthics are extremely rare.

I'd bet it was probably loisellei, freddy or mota...possibly even a female dovii
