Just figured I would give an update on their eggs, so far we now have wrigglers I can't wait to see some babies , my wife and I are planning on moving our babyy jags to a different tank leaving an open tank for some motag babies 
Free swimmers hopefully we can have a butt load of survivors , If we do I'll be planning on giving some away if anyone is interested.
Beautiful fish! Do they have to be paired up to keep their colors? Do they require a species specific tank?
Nice grab!

The one I had was in a 150 with other large new world cichlids and it kept it's color the whole time. I would only be worried about a species specific tank if you plan to breed. Having said that, they are bruisers, and nothing messed with the one I had. Put one in a 75 or 90 with other fish and things may get a little violent.
Ritgh now they are both really small so the are in a 55 in our living room , during the spring or as soon as it gets warmer here, and we pick up our 240 
I'm planning on playing a little musical fish and they will end up in our 90.

Those pics were taken right after I got them, they were a bit shy then so at the time that was the best I could do. I have posted some better pics with Moma and her babies.
