Are those sensory pits or beginnings of HITH? Nice colors regardless.

Those are sensory pits. I do regular WCs and feed 0 feeder fish, and feed a varied diet. Thanks for looking out

sensory pits, very great fish he now looks like a cichlid, lol he has changed so much in terms of maturing in body shape. love the teeth. i think it is awesome you have kept up this thread. there is a nice JD in a lfs near me with a lot of those big teeth and he is like 6" long. i want him but need another tank. keep up the good work.

Thanks for the comments. I can't wait to see his full growth potential. Anything over 8" will be icing on the cake. Only time will tell. Low nitrates and plenty of good quality food.

Buling rulz ... and earthworms are the diet. He looks awesome. JD's are one of my favourite cichs and yours kicks ass. Mine has a little more than 8" (around 21 cm) and hope he's still growing. They have indeed some small teeth which resemble the pseudocanines ... but only the Guapotes have pseudocanines. Mine has teeth also ... but my Jag has the "blades". Cheers man. Tell your Jack to grow big. :headbang2

Hmm, it looks like all of the pics aren't showing up at the moment, and I can't get into my personal gallery as well. Hopefully they all come back. It would be a pain to post them all over again.

Edit: I think they are doing some work to the gallery. It won't load up for me

Thanks for the feedback everyone!!

C'mon, post some pics already. Just upload 'em on the post. I don't have my pics downloaded from my camera or I'd upload a couple and you'd be stuck looking at my lousy shots!
