I voted for rallys just cause I prefer the picture as it has a black background, both fish are astonishing.
are both jags from the same strain or is one of them a mix between the
golden jag x reg. jag????
golden jag x reg. jag????
Thanks for the props on Jumbo. What makes him partiucarly unique is that his mother was a Gold Morph managuense and his father a regular morph. I have a video of his parents posted on my YouTube site.
Jumbo is only 14"...not the largest I have owned...and one of six Managuense in my collection. I think when the Honduran Managuense get to be his size they will make him look like old news. One comment on the wild caught Managuense...and most wild caught fish...they have a tendency to keep a lot of the genetic traits needed to help them survive in the wild...ie, teeth.
If you take a look at a fish like a big lipped Labiatus, subsequent spawn from that fish will have smaller lips and so on as they breed out. Why? They don't need it. With Labiatus the lips are used as a special tool for extracting food. In an aquarium it's not needed. Same with teeth. For all practical purposes...Jumbo is all gums. The only thing he needs is that big ass mouth to swallow his food...he will put down six large raw shrimp at a sitting (three times per week) All of the wild fish I own maintain their dentition....the Managuense and Red Tiger Motaguense both have crazy teeth.
All of the Managuense posted here look great. Here's some photos you may or may not have seen.
