Very nice, I've been thinking about getting another pair. The best pair I've had and great colors and personality. He's showing great colors! Where did you get you get him?
Wow those look awesome, do you plan on adding tank mates or breeding?
Thanks. I bought 5 from my local
Petco. I always wanted a jag and one day I walked into the store and they had five 1.5” Jags so I bought them. I figured it was a sign lol.

I planned on having him solo or a pair if I can get him to pair with a female. I still have to add some more pieces of wood and maybe a rock or two on the left side of the tank. I thought about having some fish in the tank that would be from the same waters jags live but not sure at this point if I will.

Lol they look so big in the close up pics but once ya see the whole tank man do they look tiny. Granted 300g tank will make most fish look tiny in comparison. Good size for a forever home tho. Ya got yourself a real nice looking male too, tank would look a lil better with some more wood work but not bad tho for what ya got in there so far. Ever thought of adding in some more plants like anubias or Java fern?
Thanks.

the male jag is 10” or just over and the other jag is right around 7”. The rock the male is sitting by is massive and that piece of manzanita is 32” long. I agree the 300 tank does make things look smaller and theres still a decent amount of tank outside the furthest pic. I will be adding more wood I just have to find the right looking pieces. Ya I will probably add more plants as I add the wood pieces.

Yeah this tank has some serious potential. Just sucks that most plants wouldn't be able to survive in a cichlid tank. Jags are absolutely beautiful fish and one of my favorite cichlids. I think some lilies would be nice if the jags would allow em, it would definitely add a more top water predator vibe to the tank imo.Thanks.
Quick update on the jag. I added more driftwood to his tank. I am still waiting for the one piece to sink. After I get it placed I will know if I want some more wood and rocks. I like how its coming along so far and he really seems to enjoy his tank.
