Peter_Gun_Riff Posted January 8, 2004 Share Posted January 8, 2004 i had 3 jags in my tank and the male(i think it is) killed the weaker of the other two now the last jag has changed its colour completly. could it be stress or a show of dominance?

Link2Hell Posted January 8, 2004 Share Posted January 8, 2004 By "changed its colour" can you describe what the fish went from and to in colour It could be the other one is a female taking on breeding colour change now the male has worked out who he's interested in Have they been jaw locking with each other L2H Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nels87_o_O Posted January 11, 2004 Share Posted January 11, 2004 Yeah I've got a Texas too! His the king of the tank, he bullys the jags around so I'm getting rid of him! What kinda food do you feed your jags Pete? Mine gets Orcas pellets, Colourbits and Bloodworms. Not much. I'd like more live food for them though!

Peter_Gun_Riff Posted January 11, 2004 Author Share Posted January 11, 2004 i get it from my LFS for 2.50 for 100 grams and their ready to go in squares. last about a month if that all i feed them but i have all the other stuff also. i havent got cultures i feed them all frozen so all up its about $10 every 2 months or so to feed them NOW but when they get bigger i say hey will be taking a block every feeding or maybe even 2. just ask you LFS if they can order them in.
