I relized i am going to have a spare tank (45G) There are a few people who will not shut up about There jag,/tex. I miss mine. the lfs has a few 2-3" jaguars For $10 each, and another lfs has texas for $4, usualy around 1-3".

Because of a resent accedent/prank. I had to move my Fish from my 55 into my 45. Wich killed my knikefish, and my large convict has sores that keep poping up on his body esp. his head, i will prob. have to uthanise him. So that means the only fish that are not from the 55, are 3 convicts that are 1" or less, witch i am surprised the red devil did'nt eat. They are dithers now.

Ok so, if i do this, Does it matter who is the male, and the female? What size would they need to be to breed?, and what else to now?.

Also, the female red devil i have that breeds with my parrot, after this project, i want to do more then just watch infertile eggs, so could i cross the tex, the jag, or the offspring with her latter on?
 
im to lazy to read all that.. lol. but if you wanted to breed a jag x tex go right ahead. they have extremely beutiful babies. just make sure that the texas is vibrant.
 
basicaly the messages says that i have a free tank (45), and want to breed them. What is the breeding size they need to be? Wich should be the male and wich the female? And unrelatedly, would it still work if the tex was substituted with a dempsey?
I am hoping i can use a male jag because they are just more awsome, but i can see why u guyz will probably say female jag, thats cool just want the offspring right now.
 
I called the lfs that sells the texas cichlids. the little ones are $4, but they are out and do not plan to order any time soon, but they have 1 7-8" tex for $15 or $20. the other has 2 tiny jaguars, just starting to "get there spots" 2" and 3".
I am hoping i can use a male jag because they are just more awsome, but i can see why u guyz will probably say female jag, thats cool just want the offspring right now.
P.S. Lets see everyboby elses tex/jags:D
