Freshwater Fish
Managuense Cichlid (Jaguar Cichlid).
The jaguar cichlid — a large predatory fish patterned in black rosettes over gold. Powerful and aggressive, it's best kept alone or with equally tough fish in a 125-gallon-plus tank. A serious fish for a keeper who wants a real predator centerpiece.

Good tank mates
Aggressive and best kept species-only or with equally tough fish, so this is not for a peaceful community tank. Pair it only with large cichlids or sturdy fish that can hold their own at similar size, and expect to provide a big tank with territory for each. When in doubt, keep it alone, and never house it with anything small enough to eat. Call us for matched-aggression pairing advice.
Good to know
The jaguar cichlid is native to Central American lakes and rivers from Honduras to Costa Rica and is a large predatory hunter.
