Jaguar cichlid can get 12-20 inches and are pretty aggressive. my son was looking at these for the tank in his room but it was recommended he house it alone in a 6 foot tank minimum. He already bought and set up a 40g breeder so that limited what he could get. He ended up getting pink and black cichlids. Now he is saving for another tank :) he's a chip off the old block!! Lol
 
Welcome to Aquarium Advice.

The information above is correct but my concern with that picture is the fish looks bloated/swollen around his stomach.

He just got done eating blood worms
 
If he is not bloated it looks like you may be overfeeding then. I would fast him for a while and see if the bloating goes down any.
