    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.

    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?

    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.
