Sex my Jag and Trimac Please

[balton777]

I tried a male Jag and male Trimac in a 156 once. The Jag killed the Trimac but that doesn't mean yours would too. It might or might not work.

I think you are right about the trimac being a female.
I had heard about the black on the dorsal, plus I ordered a male and female from Rapps and what I think was the male died. I think it was the male because it was larger, and had more color. Not much color in the corpse, but it might help.

Bummer

My male is really becoming my favorite fish. He literally jumps for food every time I go to feed. I just need to get over the fact that he is so belligerent to everyone else in the tank. Hes also grown about twice as fast as my freddis, RTMs & doviis. Thankfully I have a larger male festae and larger male carpintis that are keeping him from being a total bully.

I have put the male jag and the female trimac together in a 150 gal. Do you think this is going to work out?

Thanks!

I had the opposite dilemma than Balton. My Trimac tried to kill my Jag and the Trimac was smaller at the time. Mine was a male Trimac though, I dont know if that matters, never had a female.

The trimac definately has black on her dorsal.
The Jag was in a 180 gal community tank with less aggressive CA/SA cichlids (Oscar, JD's, GT, Firemouths and a Severum) After fights with the JD and the Severum he mostly stayed in a flower pot.

The Jag and the Trimac are together now in the 150 gal and seem to be getting along. I will be keeping an eye on them.

Thanks for the advice!
