Is this a Parachromis managuensis?

Hello MFK,

I bought this fish a few hours ago.

Can you guys please confirm it's a Jaguar Cichlid?

Also what do you think about the quality of the specimen (it's about 4-5 inches)?

Thank you,
Sid

yeah its definitely a jag, but you will need to take some more pics of the fish once its all settled in before anyone could comment on its quality, fish look drastically different from when they are stressed and when they are comfortable in their own territory, he looks very washed out and stressed in that pic

Yes, he is definitely stressed. This picture is from a couple of minutes after I removed him from the bag and put him in this (quarantine) tank.

I know as a "breeding pair" these cichlids are incredibly aggressive. Hence, I only got one.

I will post more pictures after he's settled in in his 4-footer.

Regards,
Sid
