50% water changes every other day just seem unnecessary. Than again, whats the condition of the fish? Obviously not healthy. But whatever not my fish.
My Jaguar had a heart attack (for real I think)

Thanks again for all the input guys.
The fish is still alive, but I think there is some sort of Neurological damage..
It lies on the bottom on its side, when I come over to the tank it does that horrible spiral swimming motion, man this sucks!
I know my tank was to small, but I was working on getting a 75-gallon for this female, which I honestly feel would have been big enough..
Just got my new Hikari food that Massivevore Delite that I spent $25 bux on
.
I want to get a baby captive bred-born Jag next time around. This was my first experience with a WC adult.
I know its hard to tell the sexes when there young, I wonder how soon you can tell baby females from males?
If anyone knows were I could get a baby NICE male, please let me know.
Thanks.

Damon, I know what you mean with adult WC's. They're sometimes very difficult and don't act the way captive born cichlids do. I want to save you some grief for later on down the road. Even if you get a 75g tank, that's not going to be big enough for a full grown MALE jag. You'll want to stick with a female. A male requires at 6' tank imo.
xEchOx, nice fish! I bet you hated letting him go.

thats strage cause i have an oscar that does the exact same thing sometimes and sometimes hurts himself but within an hours fine maybe your fish just got spooked that always seems to be the case with my fish my polleni does the same thing sometimes
I had a 13" tiger oscar do the same thing, i took great care of that fish, the first fish i ever owned, loved that thing to death, episodes lasted for about 3 days, and she passed, that was a sad day.
