prob is shifting them on once they have matured abit, i know people always say its easy but brutis the male jag no one wanted to buy or take him for free until luckily one day my mate took him strange eh,you see if lfs them marked up for 60pounds + for a semi matured jag, and you cant give away a beautiful big semi matured boy

Ive just got one of these didnt even realise till I saw your post its the same sp. as your lol. Now ill race to to see who can get theres the biggest the quickest.

Unfortunatly madagascan cichlids are overlooked in the hobby and the young are difficult to distribute, which means i will not keep many of my fry to grow, which is a shame as these are very endangered fish that probably soon become extinct in the wild. But posting photo's of adults seems to have increased interest on this site due to their beauty, which is how i came to know about them, trying to get other madagascan species to have a biotype tank has now become a hard task, but i won't give up lol

Wel here is mine it has been hiding ever since it went in. It is the most timid fish I have in the tank has not been out at all. Here is the best pic I can get of it.

he looks great,probally just you have bigger cichlids so maybe he feels fear

[mark7616]

Thats about the size of mine no bigger than 2"-2.5"

 

[england]

can these go in with central south american? if not what they go in with? love them

 

[england]

yes they will aparently there mostly kept with south/centreal american cichlids unless you want to go all madagascan
i have brought these two with the intention of adding them in with the others one day,when they grow,and i upgrade
