I believe they wanted $20 -$40 I cant remember for sure. I loved it. I was looking at him and it was staring right back at me really cool colors. Not to mention that it followed me everywhere I went. I gotta have on BAD. Its gills were all flared out with some gnarly lookin teeth. My G/f asked me to put my hand in the tank. I said Fu*k You, stick your nipple in there! :ROFL: Really a bad ass fish! How big of a tank do they need? If I had the money and a tank I would have bought it for sure. I almost want to kick my 2 oscars out of the 150g and get a couple of jags but I love my O's.

They can get rather large and impressive looking. $40 @ 12" is a deal if its decent quality. can you get a pic of it and post it?
I have one thats about 13" in my gallery if you want to check it out:D
 
think HUGE tank i have a 150 gal mine will eventually go into
 
Thats a killer fish man! How may friggin tanks do you have and how big are they?
I will go tomarrow and take some pics with the digital camera and post them for ya or I can just send them to you if you want!
 
Im not good at guessing minimum tank size but your 150 would be good. They can co-exist with oscars. Mine lives with a big silver aro, 2 clown knives, an oscar, an ablino channel cat, and a chinese perch
it has also been in a tank with a flowerhorn and was fine, and used to be with 5 or 6 oscars.
 
I've seen alot of pics online with people that have 150gallon + tanks....

They had some Huge Oscars that could hold their own against big Jags. But those tanks are bigger than 120 gallons so it would make sense...less aggression... ;)

I got the impression that jags can only live with them till they reach puberty then they will pretty much kick any fishes ass that is in the tank with them especially oscars
mine is very mature and extremely laid back. You'll never know untill you try.
 
I got a 34 cm male. If you buy them keep them in a species tank. Don't even have the female in with them. or vice versa. Super agressive fish, kills anything similar in shape, and will eat just about anything that can fit in it's mouth

Mine killed my 13" oscars.

any megenese are actualy jaguars, theirs another jaguar species that's more shaped like a bass. but are actualy the same.
