Red Jaguar?

[lloyd378]

it might be a hybrid.... i bought an RTM X JAG cross a few months back..... my LFS joked and said I could call it a red jag if it developed nice coloring. Here are a couple of pics of mine at about 3.5 inches:



maybe this is what they are selling.....

Google "xanthic" jaguar.

Its what i thought at first but rare that they would be. Although if they are would their colors make it obvious?

It's a long shot that they'd be xanthic and if they were you wouldn't know until they peeled at a larger size.

$15 each or fry? If so then they very well might be as that is severely overpriced for regular jag or mota fry.

They're about an inch big, and it's $15 for 1, so it's a little tough to tell what they really are. They also have titanium blue fh's for $20 so I'm a little on the fence about what to grab.

Species

Parachromis dovii (Günther, 1864) Wolf cichlid
Parachromis friedrichsthalii (Heckel, 1840)
Parachromis loisellei (Bussing, 1989)
Parachromis managuensis (Günther, 1867) Jaguar cichlid
Parachromis motaguensis (Günther, 1867) (Red Tiger cichlid)

The fish I listed are from the same family genus of fish, meaning they are all related in one way or another. The Red Tiger is a layman's term for the Parachromis Motaguensis cichlid, they are NOT a hybrid of any kind as they can actually be found in the wild.

Parachromis motaguensis can be found along the Atlantic slope of Guatemala and Honduras (in the Motagua River basin) as well as along the Pacific slope of Guatemala and Honduras from Rio Naranjo River to Rio Choluteca. It inhabits both lakes and rivers and prefers the moderate to fast flowing waters of the lower and middle river valley sections. Their natural habitat is usually filled with rocks and fallen trees and mimicking such conditions in the aquarium is recommended.
