just picked this guy up today, needs some nourishment and he will be awesome..if any one has a clue with sexing please let me know.. going to pick up a female if i can definitly prove that this is a male.. he is 11 inches...
 
Thats a male alright.

Vey NICE. You're right, he's a little thin looking.

Feed him some beefheart, shrimp, and Omega One pellets. He'll plump up really nice.

What size tank is he in?
 
Thanks.. i am very happy to hear its male.. yes i intend to take really good care of his dietary needs,, he is in the right home now...just have to do it slow..I learned my lesson.. he is in a 55gal tank.. we will upgrade after he is finished quanrenteen.. then try him in the 125 gal or 220gal..
 
Quaranteen is good.

When he's done,
The 220 is your better bet.

The more space they have the less fish they will maul. :D

Seems like thats the case anyways. They have a lot of territory needs, I would just skip the 125 and go straight to the 220.
(just an idea, thats all)
 
That is very true..but there maybe other factors to concider..like who would be the best tank mates for him, i want him to be able to eat without fighting through the crowd.. i have a little rearanging to do and things should work out.. also i am still thinking about the female..
 
A few more pictures.. i am so happy i got him....
 
Thank you... i always wanted one or two jags..so i am happy i found this one.. looking forward to his first feeding this am ..i hope it goes smooth..
