Male Jaguar after 4m and 3w.

[Jakob]

22. March of 2009 i got myself 5 jags all about 0.5"-1". The largest two jags then are still far by the largest. The largest one being 5" and thick! But the smallest one BARELY 2" and i dont think he/she has much left (can easily fit into the largest Jags mouth.

The largest Jag i call Dexter and wow he has potential, flares at any fish in the tank, including Amphilophus Alfari being 2" larger than the jag. His colours are amazing, golden colour and strong pattern, i sometimes even see some blueish in him. Just wanted to brag a little.
Pictures dont do justice as i was trying some new settings on the camera.

Here is the largest male at 1" in the tank:

Here is he at 5" (pic taken today) in the tank (top fish):

Here is he in "The Box" with the others at 1", pic taken before i put them in the tank when i first got them:

Here is he today in "The Box" at 5" taken out for measure:

And a couple of random shots from the measurements:

I wanted to post a video but i had trouble in uploading the video on YouTube.

Comment all you want.

Nice Jakob. I like your aquascaping as well!

Actually aquascaping is not much, cause these monsters need space. I really dont know what to do with the tank.. But i wanna start making some money from the fish as well.
Here is the list of inhabitants:
5x Jags (largest is 5")
1x GT (4")
1x Amphilophus Alfari f/s
Pair of FM that i really dont wanna miss. But still f/s
1x Pictus catfish.

These are the things that i would like to do:

1. Breeding pair of Jaguars.

Good: I already have a good looking male. Jags are monsters.
Bad: Not much money will come from them. Jag juviniles are not popular in lfs's.

2. Polypterus setup.
I would have a few laps, ornates, delz's, sens...

Good: Poly's have a cool look and swim very elegantly, i have kept many poly's before and i really like them. They are monsters.

Bad: Poly's dont breed so not much cash from them.

3. Thorychtis setup/small ca/sa cichlid that max at about 6-8".
I would keep my FM pair, get a pair of cons, a male wild/c ellioti and maybe 4 geos.

Good: Stunning fish, breed and well i would be able to sell the FM/geo fry but not for long because of limited amount of people keep those fish in iceland (geos).

Bad: Not much of Monsterfishes, pricey, and a chance of to much aggression.

4. Frontosa/tanganyika setup.
Get a group of Juvi Zaire frontosa, grow them out and let them start breeding.

Good: Frontosa are popular fish if they go on the right price, exspecially Zaire, they are very rare and "wanted" here. So i could sell the fry.

Bad: Slow growers, i havent tryed much african all those 8 years of my fishkeeping, so i dont know if they are any fun.

Also fish that i thought i could breed;
Rays
Discus

What should i do?????
