Jaguar (Managuense) Sexing

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
how’s this going - got trio myself trying to sort out ??‍♂️
 
Yes looks like medium jag is female and large jag is male. I can never trust the spottings on jags. Gotta go by venting especially if younger.

You are correct!
One is definitely female…
I moved the jags to the 150gal after rehoming my Oscar’s Wednesday… and found eggs today! The eggs look fertile.
I didn’t think they’d breed that young, they don’t seem very big to me… they should go on MTVTeenMom.
The smaller jag that was getting beat tf up (particularly by the now-confirmed-female of the pair) also seems to be female.
 
Now I just need to worry about the ensuing blood-bath if the eggs hatch and the fry make it to free-swimming.
The jag pair had been in their own tank until Wednesday night… I guess they didn’t like it there, or I should have waited ?
I can siphon out the fry back down into the jags’ old tank, if mom turns into a psychotic axe-murderer, I can plop her down there too for a bit.
