Here is my Parachromis managuensis wild pair (La Ceiba, Honduras)
The Fry are 4 or 5 weeks old (even if I have wrote 2 weeks in the video)
Male is 10 inches and female 8. The aquarium is 6 feet and 180 gallons

beautiful jags.. Nice fins and rich colors on the scales. thanks for sharing
 
Looking really good - that female has some really unique markings(light color around the rosettes - makes them stand out). Congrats.
 
Nice pair. I also have a pair that lays eggs every 3 weeks or so.... four or five times ago they let them go until they were free swimming and ever since then they start eating the eggs at night. Any advice on what to do? The room is pretty dark and I notice the female and male will start swimming around the whole tank when dark...as soon as the lights are back on they fly over to what is left of the eggs and start the parental care again.
 
My male Jaguar is the best male in the world :)
He is a good father : very patient with fry, good protector, and never eat them
He is also a very good husban. He never hurt his female. I can eaven tell that he is in love with her. A lot of males don't want to waith until the babies are gone before breeding again. Of course, the female is never ready at that time and it happen often that the male is very tough with her at that time, and often kill her. But not with my male. It's happen some times that I see him dancing in front of her, but when he realized that she is not ready, he stop, that's all
Man, sorry for bad english, I got some problems to whrite those few lines :-) Sometimes it's going easy, but some times, like tonight, I can't finf the words :-(
