My juvie male managuense gets a girlfriend...

I had to move my jag from the community tank cause the new dovii kept beting on him, and he looks way too good for that..haha So i moved him tomy 55-gallon and bought him a playmate. Check out his reaction as soon as she was put in the tank.

Wow stunning male! Very unique. He sure is trying to impress her lol. Great vid.

GL with spawning and looking forward to updates!

thats a great looking male jag you got. not too bad of a female either so i'm sure they will make some nice offspring.

awesome male...and yeah, adding her sure sparked his interest didn't it? lol

Thanks guys!! I'll definitely keep you posted on what they are doing. I may need to get a divider until she's ready. The male is way too anxious. He wants to spawn like yesterday. This morning I found the female hiding behind the flat rock that's in there and with a little wear and tear from overnight assaults. She came out to eat though, so that's a good thing. I purposely chose a female that was a little larger than the male because in my experience male jags are often too aggressive towards females, and when the male is bigger(and crazy) she doesn't stand much of a chance, unlike with dovii, where the male can be big enough to eat the female and they'll get along great.. haha

Thanks!! I've been lucky to raise a few nice male jags over my years of fish keeping. I had a similar one jump out of the tank on me about 20 years ago. I never ever keep my jags in a tank without a good cover on it now.
