^^I'm not sure but I think think THETETRAKING is the same 13 year-old named THEFISHMASTER1. I asked him but I think the thread was deleted. He's a funny kid with a bunch of tanks!...if they are one and the same.

oh yeah it is. The jaguar guapote, cichlasoma managuanse, parachromis managuanse, jaguar cichlid, aztec cichlid...
all the same fish. it used to be the cichlasoma, before they classified it as parachromis.

its a state ban, not a federal ban. FBI wouldn't be the ones you are worried about. it would be the utah state police.
the key word in the "ban" - - or whatever it is - - is managuense . . . whether you use c. managuense or p. managuense, you are talking Jaguar cichlid . . .

By Feds, I didnt mean the FBI. It would be US Fish and Wildlife which falls under the Department of Interior. The same group that enforces the Lacey Act and is investigating and researching the snakehead population in the Potomac River in DC and Va....hence the term "Feds".
other genus that managuensis were formerly classified in include Parapatenia, Herichthys, Nandopsis, Cichlasoma and now Parachromis so if you see any of these names in front of managuense/managuensis then it is referring to the jaguar cichlid. 
ok i went on the utah state restricted wildlife list, and the jag cichlid is listed. so start lookin for a thread on jag look a likes. and it was oddball who posted they where illegal in the first place, sorry guys but i gotta trust oddball on this one. well adios
o and the reason they are illegal is prob becuase of the colorado river, it runs right through lower south east utah and then along the utah/arizona border, then into lake powell(which is half in utah and half arizona) and they have had issues keeping the tilapia out of their and the texas cichlids, so its prob for lake powell and the colorado river. i am finding that utahs fish and wildlife officers have some strange rules, we can have jags, but we can keep things like fennec foxes with a license? wtf!
I also remember someone finding a large jag in a warm water spring in Utah several years ago, hence the scare/restriction on them.
I'd go for a cuban as the closest in color/pattern.
