Whats your pH at? Temperature? Water flow? How frequent are your water changes? Tank size(plus size of fish)? Its hard to say whats wrong without knowing anything at all about your tank.

chill out with the capitals, makes you look like youre yelling. some fish will refuse to spawn without frequent water changes, and the temperature around 80, sometimes even warmer. Good water flow is also appreciated and can be done just by adding a powerhead to the tank. Jaguars like a pH of anywhere from like 7.3 to 8.6 i believe, so if your pH is on the lower side this could be a reason that they arent spawning.

PH IS IN RANGE, TEMP 80 DEGREES, TWO BACK PACK STYLE FILTERS 330 GPH EACH AND A SMALL POWER HEAC IN FILTER BOX IN THE BOTTOM 220GPH, WATER CHANGES TWICE A MONTHTHE FISH YOU CAN SEE ON YOUTUBE UNDER MBEEZY618
I'd say the small tank size is why these jags wont breed. If theyre the size I expect them to be (as you said 5 years old) theyre around 14-16" and a 75 is just miniscule for them. I'd try to find a new home for these guys or give them to someone that can keep them in the tank they deserve.
