Well my search for midas came up short and I got impatient ??. Just had these 3 little guys delivered. I was expecting 2.5/3 inch jags but got 2/2.5 cm jags instead they look lost in the 125. Looking forward to watching these guys grow.
Jaguar cichlid grow out.

- Start date
aren't they just ?. I'm not so sure to be honest I did plan on just a single male but I may consider the pair if one forms. Not sure how well that will work though with just 3 of them.
They look lost now, but in a few months they'll make that 125 look like 55, and a few months later, like a 10 gal.
??? Yes they are known to grow very fast. I'll be upgrading my tank in next few months.
Yeah I can't wait for them to get settled. I bought some fresh shrimp for them and had to freeze them because there about 10x bigger than the jags ??
Tiny little guys, very cute. Personally I'd start em in a 20-40, 125 is a lot of tank for them. But if they are finding their food and not overly shy then there is no problem.
Yeah they are it's funny watching peoples faces when you tell them what they will eventually grow to.
Unfortunately this is the only tank I own. But I've got the lights down low with plenty of cover, they've just had there first meal and had no trouble eating at all.
Look at their huge eyes haha, it’s crazy that they’re gonna grow into 14+ inch monsters. You’re gonna love them, great fish with amazing coloration!
Good luck and be sure to update us as they grow??
