I have 2 Jaguar Cichlids (male & female), that are both about 6-7" long. They were put in a 180 gallon together about 2-3 weeks ago, and were doing fine and showing breeding behavior. Both were aggressive towards people and had no fear. All of a sudden last week they have become overly skittish and sulk in the corners whenever the lights are on, I had 2 T5's 10,000k, so I changed out one to blue light, did not work. So I went out and bought a Current LED light fixture, where I can adjust each colour and brightness a million different ways. Still no luck, they only come out and act normal and eat like pigs the second I turn off the aquarium lights, even though the room they are in is brightly lit.
Can someone shed some light on what may be the issue, as I don't understand why it happened so suddenly (I do know is most cases Jag's like lower light levels, but these guys don't want any light overhead). Any suggestions would be appreciated.
