New Photo - "Jumbo"

[perrito_blanco]

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

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.

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.

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.

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