Resembling a Jaguar's pelt, the yellow-bronze scales, with their black markings give the adult Parachromis managuense its common name, the Jaguar Cichlid. As juveniles, they have a pale goldish-silver hue, with large dark bands wrapping around the back of the fish stoping somewhere around the lateral line.
Jaguars have a distinct profile with an elongated oval shaped body and spiny rays extending outward to support the fins. Their dorsal and tail fins are quite prominent and take on a menacing look thanks to the spines. Another distinct predatory feature of this fish is that their lower jaw extends beyond the upper and, when feeding, their jaws can protrude as much as 90% of their mouth's length. Quite a sight to see.
This fish has a fierce personality to match its profile. Prone to aggression they can also reach up to 14 - 16 inched (females are smaller than the males) and have an average lifespan of about 15 years. A feisty and stunningly beautiful fish, it is not for the faint of heart.

7 - 8.7 pH

Kayla really went the extra mile and sent me pictures and hand picked the fish that I wanted which was extremely cool. My only complaint was the packaging not very much air pumped into the bags and if you're going to ship the bags laying down they need to have more water. And always go for the overnight shipping 2 of my bags were popped and there was barely enough water in there to cover the fishes gills. All in all it was a great experience i think they just need to work on their packaging.
Service was great, quality of fish was in perfect condition, and healthy👊🏾💯. Highly recommend them, great communication the whole time.
Beautiful fish, packaged well and super feisty during acclimation. Doing well. Really happy with purchase.
All 3 arrived alive and have good colors. They are rather lean and have just finally today started to eat lightly after I think 5 days. However I have never had them before and it may just be that the breed is more skittish than some other Cichlids.
Above and beyond expectations. I ordered 3" fish and this is more between 4-5" and stunning color.
