Mark,

If you don't mind saying who did you order those from? Do they all have the slightly longer top fin? It looks really nice.

Yeah in that tank i have JDs
the green terror
a texas cichlid
A red devil/ midas ?
and a jeweled cichlid
Im about to do some rearranging ..
the only ones that have issues are the RD Tex against everyone else.
They just chase the others ..no one fights.

Looks like you have him in there with a green terror/gold saum. Any problems with aggression? What's on the left, Jack Dempsey?

Yes, they all have the full dorsal fin. They came from Yankeebetta on Aquabid. As I recall, he said that these are from a Hollywood X LFS line.

I almost got a 1" ebjd today for $2.50 but the pet store will never sell me fish if they know they're mismarked. Pisses me off! I went to school with the kid that orders their fish for them though so I'm going to go in there wednesday and order some fish from them @ wholesale. I can get 1" ebjd's for $10.99.

The three biggest "school" most of the time. The smallest one tends to stay more to itself, except at feeding time, then its a Battle Royal.

Thanks!! I'm going to get a pair of those. I really like the dorsal fin thing. Hopefully when they get bigger the males don't fight as much as regular Jack Dempsies.

I can't breed them for $2.50 each...

He said the $2.50 was a mislabel. Got any pics?

Great looking fish.
I heard they tend to die within first 2 yrs for no reason not easy to keep like reg Dempsey?
