Jaguar Cichlid

[Derrick Neal]

Can I tell my jaguar cichlid's sex by its patterning and/or color changes? Do the females have the gold, greenish, turquoise tints?

looking female ATM, age/size?

 

[Derrick Neal]

About 5 1/2", and about 2 1/2 years old. Females do all that changing color?

2.5 years old and only 5" something has her growing slow, or not at all, and yes they color up, but do not usually loose there body bars.
