jjt1 Posted February 13, 2014 Report Share Posted February 13, 2014 Planning to set up a large show tank with either Dovii or Managuensis once my new place is finished. Anyone keep these that can offer up advice/experiences/tips on husbandry of these monsters? My only experience with them was on the end my line in Nicaragua.

Snowape Posted February 17, 2014 Report Share Posted February 17, 2014 Great choice, I currently keep Parachromis Managuensis, be prepared to set up single species tank as they do not play well with others! They can be tank busters, so heavy decorations are a danger, I've found the Jaguars do best with a sand substrate, no plants as they a diggers. All I have in my tanks is sand and a large clay pot. When breeding(and they do easily and often)mine will push all the sand on one end of the tank into a pile clearing right to the glass bottom Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jjt1 Posted February 19, 2014 Author Report Share Posted February 19, 2014 Is it difficult to obtain a well bonded pair? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snowape Posted February 21, 2014 Report Share Posted February 21, 2014 I usually grow my own, I currently have 8 Jaguars about 2 to 3 inches long in Grande Prairie, as they get larger and more aggressive I split them into smaller groups so they dont kill each other. A little early to tell but it looks like I'll get 3 good pairs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pikeaholic Posted January 16, 2016 Report Share Posted January 16, 2016 I have honduran jaguars and blue/black Umbie grow outs. I am busy at work for the next month but then I could part with a few, I will post when I'm free to catch them. My 5-6 inch jag has been sold but the rest of the fish are all between 2-4 inches.
