Amazing looking Jag. I can't wait to get mine. I have a 90gallon tank I bought a month ago for $100 but can't start to add everything to get it cycled till I get my stand built since I refuse to pay $400 for one... What kind of tank mates do you have with him and what size tank/filtration? I can't get enough of these fish I could look at pictures of them all day. (Here's a pix of my sad 90gallon sitting)

Your 90 isn't sad just remove clothes and add water,jk I kid. For a 90 on jag tank mates I wouldn't recommend any for long term unless you have a female. In which case you could add another female cichlid if similar in size and attitude

the wait is gonna kill u. I know it killed me lol. I have him in a 125 gal. I bought 2 new fluval 306 canisters. one of my filters works half as good as the other(my dad ran one dry,smh). hes with a 6 inch male Dempsey,6 inch mayan cichlid,5 inch firemouth,3 inch convict,4 inch dovii(big mistake buying fish is addicting). basically once they hit like 6-7 inches they get territorial and confrontational. I bought him when he was 1 inch when the other fish wer like 4 inches bigger. he was always at the bottom of the hierarchy so hes somewhat submissive especially with my Dempsey who is boss. if you want other fish choose them carefully and concentrate on making good territories that reduces confrontation. one thing you must know they are not the most active and they like to lounge in their territory theyr ambush predators not open water hunters so he may not be as active as you imagine. he will get some cool sudocanine teeth. try to get some filter media or gravel from an established tank to hurry the cycle. 90 gallon is a GREAT tank that was the tank I was going to get originally
 
What size of tank do you have? And what tank mates do you have. I don't have any great pics of mine. But I have him in a 140 gallon. Jag red terror and a yellow African. Going to add an Asian Arowana soon.
