A loisellei and a jag...pic differance would be great.
 
One's yellow first off. The loisellei has different bottom jaw structure ( thicker) than the Jag. Jags will usually not have a full lateral line marking as the loisellei does. Different head shape loisellei's is kinda crimped at forehead. These pics will tell it all though.

Behavior whats the differance size?
 
Behavior wise the Jag takes the gold in aggressiveness. The loisellei are aggressive but not like Jags. Also the jag will grow much bigger up to 20" if properly kept but usually takes a long time. The loisellei will max at 14".
 
Has anyone ever seen a loiselli/jag hybrid because I have a pair of 1 loiselli and 1 jag but they havent had eggs yet, anyone have pic/info of the hybrid. Loiselli tend to have a stockier body aswell as yellow, less aggressive, and a smaller maxium size.

by properly kept you must mean in a 600,000 gallon aquarium, and force feed steriods, they don't get past 15-16" MAX in home aquaria< belive me i've raised plenty, wild males do reach to 22" in the wild, but that's with a whole lotta room, and alot of food. aggresive wise it all depends on the fish, i have had jags that are pussie's, and liosellie that are badass, as well as vicea versa, in general jaguars have been known to be more aggressive, but most aggresion i have seen is basic territorial instinct not dovii psychoticness. lioselli do max out at 14" females ussally run a little smaller than males. there the same genus, that would be the "parachromis" family of fish. you can tell them apart by that lioselli are yellowish coloration, and almost always have a light blue marking patch on forhead which sometimes streches to the lower dorsal area.
