sexing a jag

[StefanI]

this is the fish that really got me back into fish. i found a breeder and picked this little one up at around 1 inch in size. i set it up in a planted 75 gallon and away we went. 6-8 months later ( cant remember exactly ). here he/she is. loves her pellets and earth worms, gets the odd treat of feeders i raise and keep myself.

Nice PIC up
Looks big enough to use the starve method to pellet train if really hungry it'll eat after few days of no food , or you could try feeding pellets to mealworms so they get used to the taste (I've just done this with my baby jardini who now eats pellet) or try feeding raw prawn/shrimp and season them with the pellet again to get used to taste/flavour , good luck :thumbup:
