Over the rainbow
I bought this jaguar and have her in a tank with male (with a divider) and nothing has happened. The male comes up to the divider to take a look once in a while, but nothing. I tried removing the divider for a short time to see what would happen and they did the aggression display violently swaying side to side and a little bit of lip locking. Before fighting got to intense I put the divider back up. At this point I'm not so sure anymore if this guy is a female. Can someone help me sex? Also, does anyone have any tips on breeding these guys? Thanks

Breeding as suggested by Mo is a hit or miss.
Have Dovii which breed regularly and Red terror male living in a harem and no action for well over an year.
Jaguars can be crazy.... they can even end up killing their partners.... just wait it out
 
jaguar love is a brutal thing, females usually will not spawn with a male until she has had her arse kicked. or dominated. It can be hard to tell the dif between prespawn courtship and pre meditated murder.
