Jaguar or Salvini for showcase
- Thread starter Cichlidshady
- Start date
Thank you all for feedback! I'm still long to part but it is a decision that is inevitable. Salvini are nice fish But for something I'm showing off I would rather have a fish that would swim in the open. The Jaguar has gotten some thickness to her but she Isn't growing very fast almost Green Terror paced... Probably had her for 6 months and she has put on 3 inches. Was 2 inches when bought.
It would depend on tank size given the size differences between them. I'd say if the tank is 75 galons or less, a salvini pair would be best with large fast dithers added like silver dollars or tinfoil barbs. Larger rainbow fish would work too. I've had bosemani rainbows with CA cichlids and they looked and worked great.
If the tank is 5 feet long of more, get a jag.
If you want a single wet pet, you have some pretty good options out there that might make you happier.

Depending on your tank size I'd go jag every time , much more personality IMO

^^^This is a reason for me to setup a tank for a singly Jag show case, it's a beast and look awesome, I still hoping one day my Jag will turn out nice or look similar to the Jag in the pictureJags are by far the better "showpiece".
