Jag is what got me hooked on your channel so JAG hands down (YOU WILL ALWAYS HAVE A JAG IN YOUR FISH ROOM) That was your statement And I got a jag just because of you and I love them 👊👊👊
The Jag all day long, but thats an easy one for me, i had them in my childhood. Very strong, once i found the couple in the dry sand in the morning, due a leek in the tank. I picked them up, did both of them in a bucket of water and the both survived.
Scott Jaguars are my favorite also but as far as submitting for a show I believe your Cuban is in better show shape and has a very nice blue sheen to him. I also would be concerned with stressing out your older Jag moving him around for the show since he is older. I do like large male Jags more though. Not many has seen the Cuban up close and your video shows the great freckling on his face which I never paid attention to before.
@@ScottMclaughlinJ Jags because I've never eaten Cubans, not that I think I'm missing anything. Jaguars aren't bad eating but not something you'll ever see on a fine restaurant's menu. Dovii, now that's some f ckn good eating! Only problem is they're not easy to come by.. I ate my brother's dovii when he went out of town. Pan fried that bastard and wished he would get another one. When I did the same to his jaguar, I got kicked out of the house.
@@ScottMclaughlinJ THAT ONES NOT FAIR BUT HERE GO'S. THE CHANCHO IS A PROVEN ROCK STAR BUT HE IS GETTING UP THERE IN AGE AND SOME FISH AS THEY GET OLDER START TO DULL IN COLOR AND THERE FINS BEGIN TO FOR LACK OF A BETTER WORD CRINKLE SOME AND WHILE I DO BELIVE THE CHANCHO GOT SOME MORE SHOWS IN HIM THAT HE COULD PROBABLY WIN. HIS TIME IS ON TOP IS UNCERTAIN. THE CUBAN MAY NOT BE 100% NOW BUT WILL SOON BE AND WHEN HE IS HE WILL BE A TOP COMPETITOR FOR A LONG TIME. SO IF I HAD TO CHOOSE BASED ON COMPETITION IN THE FUTURE ONLY I WOULD SAY KEEP THE CUBAN. IF YOU WANT I COULD TAKE TAKE THAT OLD DESCRIBED CHANCHO OF YOUR HANDS
Hello. Both fish are equally beautiful. You can't say that jaguar chiclid is more beautiful than Cuban cichlid, or vice versa. Personally, I think that size matters, it makes a fish look spectacular, you look spectacular than another, but you make me small. It is a personal opinion, it keeps clear of preferences and taste in the end.
@@ScottMclaughlinJ I personally would choose jaguar chichlid for the competition, because it is a massive fish, which requires a spectacular presence, it impresses me a lot. But I repeat, I am not saying that it is the choice that will surely make you a winner in the competition. Probably others would choose Cuban chiclid because it is you have rarely met me and so it can attract my attention a lot. You have a difficult decision to make.
Normally I'd side with the parachromis, but you didn't pick the pretty parachromis friedrichsthalli! Gotta go Cuban if I'm picking between Jag and Cuban. They are much brighter, with more contrast, and are more typical of the body shape that new world cichlids are known for.
I think for me large mouth bass. They got alot of action. (Topwater action.) They are big.. I had one but over grown so I released it. I trained mine to eat cichlids pallets. And also I treat it with lives food once in a while.
Even though i really love your Jag's I have to say the deportment with that cuban is off the hook... I tried really hard to find a flaw in both fish and couldn't really find one.. I know where you got that cuban I was there when you did.. Personally I like the Jaguar more but if I were to judge the Cuban has a better chance I think...Very hard decision both are excellent specimens!!
Jag baby, all day. One thing people who don't have them don't know is how different they can look from day to day, hour to hour. One minute black and white like that Cuban and hours later very dark with purple, gold, metallic hues.
I'd go with Jag just for the shape and colour but I don't know the judging criteria for competition shows. If its anything like dogs it'll be the best "shape" and colour for the species. I have no experience of Cubans but I've had Jags for almost 30 yrs and your pair look perfect to me. Yeah, to me but I'm not a show judge.
That Jaguar is gorgeous but the Cuban is SEXY. After seeing yours when you got it I changed my mind from getting a Jaguar and was able to scoop up a pair of Cubans. Hopefully my male will look that SEXY soon. #CUBANFORTHEWIN!
Thats close, I would still go Jags. I've been keeping them since 1997. It was my first big mean cichlid. That Cuban is on fire 🔥 though, for sure one of the best males I've ever seen.
My Cuban Pair wont stop breeding. I put some Dino Birchirs in to stop them, till I find homes for my Cuban Cichlid Fry I already have. And the Cuban is my Favourite Cichlid, good video.
Well I would say dovii, but that's not what you're asking. Generally speaking I more interested in the jag, but out of the two fish you've shown, I think the cuban might have more show appeal. So that's what I would go with.
Hmm, a tough question. So close for me as love both the fish but I’d have to go slightly more with your Cuban. A beautifully clean and healthy looking fish there! Love the colouration! Stay safe K & Q!
I know this is an old video. But from what I have been told. If the top dorsal fin on the Cuban is black like the the one you have then it is most likely a female. If that specific fish was raised without a male around then they will adapt certain male traits and coloration. Could be why it’s killing other females and not mating. Then again I could be completely wrong.
The jaguar wins hands down. My 2 spawned for the first time yesterday and i saw the breeding coulers of them and they are beautiful and such awesome fish
Uhhhh… Chocolate! No? Wolf… no? Dovi??? Anybody? Aw c’mon…😫 I’m a betta guy… (don’t judge me)🤦🏾♂️🤷🏾♂️ Alright… Cuban!😓 (throws a pleco at the jaguar)
That's a tough choice. Those are two beautiful fish. I'd have to with the Jaguar only because I had one when I was younger. They are so much fun to own and care for, and I absolutely agree they are -not- community fish.
Liked this video Scott you mixed it up really nice. I love how you show your fish..Cubanos are gorgeous but Yo Amo mi PARACHROMIS!!! Jaguar Baby!!! Great stuff Scott
Last time I posted (I guess because of my age) I confused the Cuban cichlid, Nandopsis tetracanthus with the Haitian cichlid, Odo, Black Nasty, Nandopsis haitiensis. But all the changes in Antilles cichlids eliminating Nandopsis vomberg and the Central American cichlids eliminating Parachromis loisellei. That Parachromis friedrichstalii was wrongly identified as Parachromis loisellei. So now the fish wrongly Parachromis friedrichstalii should mean that now should be Parachromis multifasciatus. The shouldnot the common name "Yellowjacket guapote" and habits apply to P. multifasciatus? Also have you tried separating male from female Cuban cichlid with a divider that would allow female either to escape or only allowed sperm get to eggs?
It really depends on the individual fish for me. If I were to take the average jag and put it against the average cuban, the cuban would win out, but a really nice jag, like big fish lad's old Mr.Wimpy would take the cake.
Since I am a month late, my opinion doesn't count but since I am not a judge my opinion would count anyway. I was never involved in fish competition so don't have an idea what the judges look for. That being said I think both fish are great looking but in my opinion the Odo, Black Death, Cuban cichlid, Nandopsis tetracantus is the better looking fish despite being smaller.
Managuensis because it has been around as long as me lol!
I love JAGS #Period buuut , the Cuban is the sexiest !!!!
I have both and it's tough. Cuban is sexy tho!
Honestly thats my vote too Brother!!!
I love my parachromis, but right now the black and white contrast along with those iridescent colors, the Cuban gets my vote!
great pick- Thanks for viewing and casting a vote
I'll have to go with the Cuban. I am just partial to the black and white patterns
Me and You both- in fact most of the time i wear black and white lol
Scott !. Between the two CUBAN VS JAGUAR .. Gotta go with the CUBAN CICHLID !!..
I really agree- I am surprised so many are voting for the Jag
A tough choice but i would go with your Cuban

Scott i love the Jaguar Cichlid but your Cuban Cichlid is the best I have ever seen so I have got to go with the Cuban
Wow! That means alot brother!!!! He is a amazing looking Cuban with great attitude
@@ScottMclaughlinJ he will win lol
Here's one more vote for the Cuban.

JAG, hands down man down. The Cuban is the man down, JAG TKO’ed this one😁

Out of the 2 the Cuban. But in general the Peruvian Wild Green Discus. No competition, this is hands down the most sexy cichlid.
Scott, show the Cuban he's a beast 💪😎👍

Tough choice, I also have both. Always been found of the Jaguar Cichlid, but Cuban is very close!
great pick- Thanks for viewing and casting a vote
My Favorite have Alway's been the Jaquar Cichlid. They are so Personable.
Scott I have both but your Cuban is most beautiful Cuban I've ever seen . Vote Cuban . One again great video .
Cuban 🇨🇺

That Cuban 👏🏻🙌🏻👏🏻

I have to vote for the Jaguar cichlid. I love them both but I love the Jaguar attitude.
great pick- Thanks for viewing and casting a vote
Going w the Cuban. However I’m not liking the idea of having any of my cichlids being wild caught. Idk want em knowing freedom life vs tank life.
THE CUBAN
Too easy for you- lets try a hard one- Cuban or Chanco??? Go!!
@@ScottMclaughlinJ THAT ONES NOT FAIR BUT HERE GO'S.

I think the Jaguar wins hands down. Also they are a beautiful pair the female looks stunning too.
TY for viewing and the kind words
I have to go with Jaguars. I love the blues on them!
Hmmmm i dont see any blue in them- where do you see blue at? Maybe i am missing something. TY for viewing
@@ScottMclaughlinJ I thought there was a blue sheen on them. Maybe it's the lighting whoops! In any case, I'll stand by my vote lol
Cuban

@@ScottMclaughlinJ I had a fish room. One day plan on getting one going again. Would love to rub shoulders with people like you.
Cuban. More personable

Brother you got to go with the Cuban i have one love show El Cuban my friend have a great day
The Cuban is very sexy!
I prefer the cuban! Is gorgeous!!
The Cubans are great looking fish However My friend my Vote goes to the Jags i love them so i may be biased lol Have a great day brother!!!
great pick- Thanks for viewing and casting a vote brother!
My Cubans aren’t eating. Have had them for a while with a few other chiclids. Tank size is beyond big enough. Any tips?
@Lord Z Roger Great answer! Nick how long has it been since he last ate? and what are you feeding him?

Normally I'd side with the parachromis, but you didn't pick the pretty parachromis friedrichsthalli! Gotta go Cuban if I'm picking between Jag and Cuban. They are much brighter, with more contrast, and are more typical of the body shape that new world cichlids are known for.
You and I both love that contrast brother in our fish and in our photos LOL- TY so much for viewing and helping me with photography- means alot
Tough one.. They are both exquisite.. Gonna go with the Jaguar. Kc
I think for me large mouth bass. They got alot of action. (Topwater action.) They are big.. I had one but over grown so I released it. I trained mine to eat cichlids pallets. And also I treat it with lives food once in a while.
Jaguar over the Cuban but I am biased
Your Jaguar is magnificent 😍
awww ty!

thats awesome- how big is your largest Jaguar?
@@ScottMclaughlinJ my biggest male was 15".
Yes the cubin
J A G U A R for the win!!!!!
TY Brother for your continued support
ive got a a jag chiclid that im growing out to put in a tank with 3 oscars peacock bass jack dempsy and pleco is that gonna be bad???
Jaguar cichlid, I want a pair so bad.
Cub..... , nope, too hard to choose, both are equally stunning 🐟🤩
My Cuban Pair wont stop breeding. I put some Dino Birchirs in to stop them, till I find homes for my Cuban Cichlid Fry I already have. And the Cuban is my Favourite Cichlid, good video.
Cubans, hand down
great pick- Thanks for viewing and casting a vote
My favorite is the Jagauar! If you wonna breed the Cuban - raise the temperature to 84 and lower the ph below 7 to between 6-6,5. 😉 Good luck!
Me personally I like the Cuban. I have a six inch female and she is a monster. She's currently trying to breed with my huge Jack Dempsey.
Now that would be a interesting looking fry
@@ScottMclaughlinJ that's what I was thinking.
Jaguar ... Maybe show the Cuban in the next show 😉
Heres hoping The Keystone Clash is on this year
@@ScottMclaughlinJ yes ! I will see you then 😊🐟🐠

I love both fish's
Hard to pick right?

Color is nice
Do you think the Cuban or Jaguar cichlid can be in a tank together with a Red Devil
Cichlid
The Cuban cichlid
I got my jag about 1 year ago from my lfs and he is wild caught and my favorite fish ever
Liked this video Scott you mixed it up really nice. I love how you show your fish..Cubanos are gorgeous but Yo Amo mi PARACHROMIS!!! Jaguar Baby!!! Great stuff Scott
Both are very beautiful fish but for me the jag wins, it’s close though ! Tough decision for you Scott, good luck 👍

I have a Cuban and about 6 Managuense. So I'm voting for the Jaguar

I'm going with the Jaguar, everything about is cool.
Cubans require some patients to fully mature but certainly worth it
So is Cuban your pick?
Definetly the Jags. No question, I breed both.
Cuban Cichlid has more color spunk. That Managuensis to laid back.
Jag...🏆🥇
Wow the Jag is really getting alot of votes- TY for watching
Jaquar I have a pair but the mail is very aggressive towards the female but I enjoy them I have a 75 gallon tank
You may need a bigger time as they get larger
Beautiful fish and tanks, how many cuban cichlids could you put in a 200 G
God damn that large male black nasty is just superb looking kind of reminds me of the male kept by Brian Traas.
jaguar
great pick- Thanks for viewing and casting a vote
Cubans all the way!
Is a 75 gallon big enough for a jaguar cichlid
In the beginning yes- over time i would say no
Cuban cichlid all day!!!
Both fish are amazing. I always liked any type of Jaguar though, lol!
🐟🚘🐆
It really depends on the individual fish for me. If I were to take the average jag and put it against the average cuban, the cuban would win out, but a really nice jag, like big fish lad's old Mr.Wimpy would take the cake.
