Jag & Lois

[assortedsorts]

Here is a shot of my Jag and Loisellei.
I was wondering what kind of Jag I have...I saw a pic of a Honduran and I noticed it had blue like mine...but considerable more. Do all Jags get this blue?

all jags have a good amount of blue, atleast the males ive seen and had!
depends on lighting and food
i doubt you have a hondo jag.. very hard to get unless you ordered it as one

My jag when it was smaller had blue just like that, and it was just your run-of-the-mill jags. Hopefully yours stays that color, one day mine turned pitch black and has stayed that way ever since. Awesome Lois too.

ok I was just curious lol

Thanks they are both rescues...it is hard to believe but the lois at 5-6" and the Jag at 6-7" are almost 6 years old...severe stunting..

WHAT!! holy crap i thought they were babies!!
and a 6 inch jag is usually around 8 months old too!
wow i feel horrible for them!

I know me too...but they are in good hands now.
You should have seen the tank they were in...it was probably 15 gal I could hardly see through the glass to catch them from all the algae and when I moved some rock work to get them out sooo much crud started floating around...blech.
and they have eaten flakes only their entire life.

wow thats horrible good thing you have them now, its surprising they even survived that long in those conditions poor things

 

[assortedsorts]

well apparently..and I quote "the tank used to be a lot cleaner until the sucker fish died"
