- The best tank mates for Jaguar cichlids are similar personality fish. Common tank mates for the Jaguar cichlid include Severum Cichlids, Oscar Fish, Firemouth Cichlids, and green Terror Cichlids.
A little of both. It also depends on what your water parameters are like currently and if the water is much different where you are moving. If the quality is high in the tank and conditions are similar out of the tap, saving maybe 20 gallons with the fish is probably good. If conditions are poor in the tank or quite different from the tap, I'd try to save as much as possible and make the move the first of many increasing volume water changes.
for me just save your good bacteria in your tank water and acclimate your fish,if you can save some water it wouldn't harm. I second That opinion Unless your water is significantly different from the tank (i.e. you have to use RO, or have been adding hardness for cichlids, things like that), then it's fine to consider this a major water change. The water in the buckets you use for holding the fish can be re-added to the tank, but otherwise there's not much value in the water itself.
Thank everyone for your input. The parameters are the exact same, I unfortunately have to move the tank about 6 feet along the wall. I would rather not have to move it at all but trying to set up my aquarium room with the 6 tanks that I now have compared to the one I started with...
It will be a matter of draining a majority, moving tank, moving stand and ensuring level, replace tank and refill. I keep discus and do massive water changes daily. As long as you keep the bacteria in your substrate alive and filters. You will be fine. My peacock eel just chillin out in the open, this legit never happens so of course had to take advantage and snap a pic. Post pics of your fish that are hard to photograph for whatever reason in the comments. Can’t wait to see what you’ve all got!
Hey all I'm working on a Haunted tank I want to put Pea Puffers in it, However I was wondering if there are any other fish I can put in with them? I had a whole colony of them before but I lost the whole tank in 24 hours due to that nasty C word! I cried for day's! any help is appreciated ! Jaguar cichlids tank Mates.
Honestly I've had many other fish in with my pea puffers but every fish is different...pea puffers will start nipping fins of other fish if there is not enough room. Puffer fish are territorial. Mine loved hiding in the plants, so any kind of bushy plant will help spruce it up. My bf and I had over 10 however we had a bully in the tank and unfortunately we didn't notice until it was too late for 8 of them.
I have a 55 gallon tank cycling that I’m going to use for saltwater. Currently the salinity is about 38 and the specific gravity is 1.028. I know this is to high, about how much saltwater should I take out and replace with freshwater? I’m new to saltwater so I have no idea what would even get me close.
And it also depends what you want tank stocked with. Some prefer slightly higher salinity. Between 1.025-1.028 is safe zone. I have a 15 gallon column with 2 Nano clowns and a Condy Anemone and keep my salinity around 1.026-1.027 they ate everything i gave them. not picky whatsoever. I had shrimp cuisune and they ate that no problem. are there fish in the tank?
I drop it in. But it's so tiny nd it just blends in with the dirt. Ya. Guppies, platys, honey gouramis, bn pleco, and corys I can't see 6 being eaten with no carcass at all. Plus the shrimp were half the size of the fish, they wouldn't fit in their mouths. My fish didn't bother my shrimp at all when they were active. They don't even both my tiny fry that swim openly.
some might be hiding. they could have been eaten overnight when you were not looking. red cherry shrimp are extremely easy prey for fish to eat. if there was a carcass, then the other shrimps probably cleaned it up. There is no 100% shrimp safe fish except maybe otos. This post was referring mostly to a few months back when I was considering trimming my bettas fins because they’re super long and he has trouble swimming. He’s doing okay now. I’ve also trimmed my goldfish’s wen as well as dosed and diagnosed sickness in my tanks which people have deemed “veterinary medicine”
Farmers castrate their animals in the backyard. Also dose anti parasite medications and antibiotics without animals ever seeing a vet. Those animals are usually covered under anti cruelty laws but that is still allowed. Farm supply stores sell everything you need to medicate and vet your own animals at home yourself. Fish hobby is much the same. I probably know more about fish than any vet within a 2 hour drive... Unless they also happen to be a fish owner.
You right having fish tanks do take a lot of time and dedication to maintain. But its enjoyable and very relaxing
I have a jaguar pair with my huge pacu and a female midas cichlid in my 300 gallon tank. I love the jaguar cichlids! Great video!
Dude... your obsessed! lol
Love it! 💟
Great looking fish and aquarium.
I've actually had Oscars and jaguars get along I bought them at the same exact time and they grew up together the only thing I ever really got was a few "hey get off my lawn" moments but nothing worse (until I tried to later add a jack Dempsey)
Wow..the old school cichlids, my favourites....retro vintage cichlids
Great info!!!
Good videos new subscriber!
Just got one today!! Starting a 125 tank. First fish in there. Hopefully for Jag,JD,GT,firemouth,convict,and Texas. Hope it goes well lol thanks for the bids bud the jag will always be my favorite.
How’s the jag doing now I have a jack but he’s a juvie and confirmed male
@maybeconrad5745 doing great got it as a baby. Got all of them young as I could so hopefully it works. Jag,green terror,JD,Convict,blue acara,oscar,salvini. So far all are at like 4in no issues yet just a little chasing and nips here and there.
I like your videos thanks for posting. I am a huge Jag fan, I have 2 adults and now about 150 fry....Do these grow as fast as Oscars? Can you give me some kind of groth rate that I could expect like 2 months 1", 6 months 4" Right now as fry I am just feeding them Hakari First Bites. Thank you
I had a fem yrs ago with an oscar I pretty much rescued both the owners raised both together in a 25 or 30 gal tank. I put them in a 55 then a 70 gal long. After that a 110 gal high . They bickered a bit but got along. With one exception when she layed eggs she would get crazy violent.
Maravilloso! Saludos desde Managua, Nicaragua. Lugar de origen del Parachromis managuensis.
I got lucky being able to pair the two and I’d love to have a Jaguar too but wasn’t sure how he would work out with my
Flowerhorn he’s a SRD flowerhorn and my red devil is not the Midas red devil but the other one
Have you ever successfully kept a cleaner fish with a jaguar or Dovi? Maybe a cactus pleco for example.
I just got 2 1.5 inch Jaguar fry and 2 gold saum fry same size 3 days apart hatched to add to my custom 120 when they're done growing out of my 30 gallon growout with my 2 oscars (8 inch and 4.5 inch), gold saum (3"), and male jack dempsey (7")
The one Jaguar will be going to my brother
So if a flowerhorn works out with a red devil. Would you advise me to put a Jaguar with that flowerhorn?
Mine sits on top of the flower pot in my tank and doesn’t move when ever I go near the tank he also doesn’t eat in front of me do you know why he is with a oscar the jag is 4 inches and the oscar is 6 inches they are doing good together it’s just that problem with my jag please help me what should I do
I keep alot of decorations and spots where bigger fish can't fit.
what about the peacock bass? I plan to combine it with pbass?
Were most of the fish introduced to each other as juveniles ?
could you tell if the pair i have is female and male?
Any problems keeping fire mouth cichilds with jaguar cichild?
I will add green terror & oscar
Hi. Could i keep Jaguar with chocolate and polleni cichlids in 150 gallon tank??
I’ve got a 14 inch male jaguar he is so cool very weird fish can be fine with other fish for months and then bang kill everyone
Can i put a Jaguar chiclid with a big parrot fish???
You sure that other jag ia a male???
Can they be paired with red fire eel
I need some help i have 2 baby jags and i baught them togeter one abit biger than the outher now there about 4 inches and the biget one is 5 and he has started to bully the smaler on and there in a 50 galon grow out how can i get them to get along
Bigger tank
Why would Jaguar Cichlid eat A Rainbow Shark please
Goat 🐐
I don't see a wolf cichlid
I jags, firemouths and green terrors all in the same tank
No fights between jags and gt even now?
My jaguar attacks our thin foils and rainbow sharks ,but those also steal its food
Jaguar and rainbow sharks should NOT be going together. RS will only get to about 6 inches and will become food to the jag
Jcr Aka Speirs , the vendor said it was ok? Well, guess at least I know now
This is a 2018 video so i'm probably talking to no one, but that smaller jag looks like a female to me. If I'm not mistaken it looks like her tube has dropped.
I have some 1.5in red terrors. But I want a red devil, red texas and jaguar. Is that possible? Right now I have a 90. But plan out getting a 120+.
I wouldnt get the Jaguar with the other fish you want. The Jaguar Cichlids are extremely aggressive and will kill everything in the tank. If you want the Jaguar, youll have to buy another tank for him to be alone or you can get 2 Jaguars 1 male and 1 female and see if it works out. Dont get 2 males though or they'll fight. I have 2 Jaguars only in a 75 gallon tank. I also have Red Devils and Oscars in seperate tanks in my basement. Personally, the Jaguars are the best in my opinion. They are very interactive fish than all those other fish your considering. My Red Devil is pretty active but nowhere near my Jaguars though. Get the Jaguara bro. Trust me you wont regret it.
@@peaceful4you408 thanks for the info
@@bosplya1980 1 male and 2 or 3 females would even work, but 2 males is a no no in the same tank
I dont know about the others but my equal size Texas is likely starving himself cause the Jag has him terrified. I have tried oversize JDs, Texas, Jewels, and none have lived happy or comfortable...actually i think the JD fared the worst and NEVER came out of hiding. JD 10", Jag 6"
