Im 100% shure that ur jag is a girl. note the sloping head and the slightly "cut short" fins. beutiful fish never the less...
 
I think he is a she too:)
 
thanks guys. i would like to breed HER, but she is only in a 55, may not even be enough for her if she gets any bigger. what would you guys consider to be minimum for a breeding pair? or for a bachelorette pad?
this is how i set it up

this is how she wanted it.

i have now taken out all the plants because she was destroying them and i would like to have them for other fish in future tanks. she now has a couple pieces of driftwood, the big piece of red slate, and some orange sandstone pieces about fist size, a couple of which are carved (holes in them for smaller fish to swim through).
 
I really like your tank rallysman, nice set up and the fish look great...

As far as a tank for a breeding pair reptileguy I would say minimum 75 gallon, I've never breed them, but jags can get over a foot so I would probably try a wider tank....

i posted it ealier, but i saw a jag at the DC aquarium that was every bit of 18" if not more. so i know they get bigger than mine, especially since mine is apparently a female. any other suggestions on min tank sizes for pair or bachelorette?
 
Rally,
Is the fish above the cat a flowerhorn/trimac? Your tank looks great.
