some how make a cichlid community tank with the Cuban as a center piece

All of the avove really need very large tanks to breed. I voted the single cuban,

I agree, I think all of the above need a 6' tank to breed so I said the single Cuban as well.

i thought a 90 gallon - 100 gallon was recommend for a jaguar pair?

A 180g is recommended for a breeding pair of Jags!

A regular 90 has the same "foot print" as a 75, 48" X 18". So there is really no difference in the size of the fish it can support. A standard 100 is 60" X 18" X 20". You might be able to house a pair of Jags in it if they are REALLY compatible, but you will have no room for error. I'd stick with the single Cuban, or select a pair of fish that won't get over 8" or 10".

maybe ill just put my large jack Dempsey pair in there

 

[Markm0723]

That would be your best bet.

I wouldn't.
