Wow, Love his colouration. He's gorgeous.

I posted this once and got booted :mad:

First awesome looking fish, love the colors and pattern!

Mojo, awhile ago you posted pics of jag fry. You were impressed with the growth rate of one in particular. He was outgrowing his siblings and I believe eating a few.

Is Jumbo 'that' fish? How big is he now?

[MoJo]

This is the fish. He's 8".

Mojo,
You are going to put that beast up for auction at the next aca convention aren't you?:)

[quantim0]

once again mojo, WOW!!! that is a really impressive fish. the coloration and contrast of the black spots on the body is awesome. the fin pattern is beautiful also. i wish one day i can keep fish that are 1/100 of how impressive looking your fish are. what do you feed him to help keep those colors up?

[Co/\/vict]

cool fish... mojo....... is there some reason you haven't banned me yet?

[remme]

How long did it take 'jumbo' to get that size and in your opinion whats the average growth rate of male managuense?thanks

[FI76]

I've NEVER seen anything like it! He's absolutely gorgeous!

Mojo:
What do you feed him?

[MoJo]

Let's see if this works:

Jumbo Attacks (http://www.aquamojo.com/managuense/Jumbo%20Attacks%203.mpg)

Worked for me! Reminds me of the ones I used to keep 10-12 years ago. Thought they owned the place. They'd chase you out of the house if they could. Ever get nipped by one?

Mojo..nice fish and cool video.
I remember the post way back about "jumbo" eating his siblings. How long ago was that because I'd like to know how long it took him to reach 8".........regards, Gregg

Coming spring 2003.... Mojo's Movie...
Watching your video really shows the beauty of Jumbo. Thanks for sharing.

I went back and looked at the date on the first time I posted his picture it was january of this year. He's about 8". His diet is high protein. Mostly fresh raw shrimp and scallops supplemented with pellet, worms, and grubs. I use a color enhancing supplement that I purchased from Jehmco.

I think the growth rate varies greatly with the size of the tank, water changes and diet. And in particular after seeing this guy against his siblings (heretofore called "lunch") I would say the individual fish. I have nine other Managuense right now and have had many over the years. This one is the nicest when it comes to pattern and color.

[Hootchieman]

Wow. Cool video. You should tie him up in the yard to guard the place. How do you clean the tank without getting attacked? Neat fish.

[butt-munch]

very nice man.

[MoJo]

I've only ever been bitten twice. Once by a Blood Parrot and one other time by a Citrinellum. Never had any problem putting my hand in a tank with any of the fish...up to and including the Wolf Fish. I read in an article that when you take a photo of the fish the barrel of the lens looks like an open mouth coming toward them. I'm sure that's part of it.

[NYQYL]

Is he a potential showfish Mojo when he grows up? I have never seen a better looking jag. Is that purple coloring I see?

[Gordeez]

Sweet!
Its a keeper!
