i have a breeding pair of jaguars. both of them are gold i have two other jaguars that are black like yours. always confused me why theres gold and black ones. probley made me sound stupid :)
 
Update on my jags and there eggs.
Well the eggs have now become wigglers and have been moved into a safe place under a rock.
Parents are very protective as expected .
Few snaps hard to take pics for now but best i could get for now.
Lets hope i have free swimmers soon :)

I will feed them up for the next few weeks ,move the parents out of that tank and then only keep the very best and strongest of them the others will be food for my pirahna.I know it sounds mean but i only want the very best fish to be kept.Will keep the thread going and update pics as they are growing :)
 
Another update and a few pics of the fry.
Some have died off now as expected but still have around 150 to 200 eating well and getting bigger :-
