Jags are cheap over hear when they're young (2"-4"), but anything over that is triple the price. I like ot get fish young. It's fun to raise them from baby to adult, they grow fast, and it's cheaper.
I bought a baby Jag about 6 weeks ago and he as almost doubled in size sine then. They grow quickly. I think there is something special about growing out my own fish. then i can say i raised a Monster Fish all by myself
I love our Jags, they are the meanest fish we have, I had a buddy over one day and he convinced me to let them bite me so I reluctently gave in (after a few beers) and let them get me a few times, on the last shot from the Male he drew blood so I said F that and haven't done it since
I agree,i usually like to buy juvies also,but he will be going into a tank with a 9 inch Oscar,so i figure a 5-6 inch Jag should be safe and not end up as lunch for my O.
i always buy small, except for arowanas. i dont buy them with yolks still attached. just get a 2 incher jag, it grows really fast anyway. you wont be able to tell the sexes apart early enough though
