Jaguar to 6"?

[Calvin Klein]

How long should it take for a Jaguar cichlid to reach 6 inches? 1 year? 2 years?

How big is it now? This will happen quickly, especially a male. Water quality, temperature, and nutrition will all play into this. I would say measure in months not years.

A 2-3" with all factors mentioned above should reach 6" in 10 months or less.

Mine went from 2" to 7" in 2-3 months

A few months if it's already a couple inches...

Won't take long. With proper care and tank size, and depending on their size, they can reach 6" in less than 6 months.

Nice! That is great info. Mine is only about an inch and a half right now eating mostly bloodworm. I got it in the spring and it was tiny. It recently really started to grow. Here's hoping it grows quickly from here on out. Thanks to all that replied!
