Let's mix it up...maybe white or pink convict. Curious to see what those would turn out like with a jag. Any male you go with should be bigger than the female...as pops mentioned, he should own her.
They wouldn't be white/pink as the jag would not carry the pink gene. However crossing the fry (if they are fertile) would theoretically create them as these would carry the pink gene. Crossing a female back to the father would certainly be an option. The problem is that most con crosses look kinda fugly as they always tend to look much more convict than anything else. Saying that, con x jags are pretty nice as con hybrids go. There's a few pics floating about MFK of some sweet con x jags.

Jaguars are so beautiful as they are. Give him a nice jag lass to beat around!

Damn, I'm liking that electric blue Dempsey x jag, same with the "manaconda." But does anybody know if the parents actually paired up, or if the breeder did the fertilization through a divider thing? I'd prefer that the fish just pair up to save me the hassle. I know RTM and Dovii have been known to pair up easily with jags.

I agree with the "fugliness" from most con crosses. That's why I suggested the white/pink cons for a little color. I've never crossed any cons because there are more interesting fishes out there (to me anyway). Would be interesting to see though.

I saw these at a lfs. The owner said they're jag & red devil hybrids. Not too friendly fish.
What do you guys think? ?

You can try red dovii with jag. That's my project. Just waiting on frys to get larger so I can start culling. I see a few faders at less than an 1 inch already.

Nice. Perhaps you can share pictures on how they turned up to be
