Thanks for all the replies guys, sorry it's taken a while to get back to you all been really busy with the birth of my second daughter. Just been trying to catch up on sleep when ever I can lol. I taken four Jack Dempsey's and Four Red Devil Juvies out my stock tanks and into my show tank along with around 12 Bristlenose pleco Juvies. Looks very nice but what is standing out the most has to be the Dempsey's. After keeping large Dempsey's in the past I couldn't help but notice a characteristic that has been on show with a specific pair. They have paired off and are really holding an area to themselves. Thought I would let you all know with how young they are I found it unusual but very interesting. I'd say they are no bigger than 2 inch LOL. They have gone a really nice dark colour, green/blue scales are looking beautiful. Male is swimming elegantly up to her and slapping her and so forth. She then proceeds to turn around and do the same. I also noticed the male is slightly larger, has a pointed dorsal fin, whereas the females dorsal fin is slightly rounder, and she has less colour along the body but more around the cheeks. Just goes to show that in some cases, the old fashioned way of sexing them is still very much useful despite line breeding getting rid of most of these characteristics. Here's a picture of the male showing off to the female. (You can just make her out behind the flash.)Dempsey Advert Pic.jpg

Juvenile Oscar is good looking and cute, always swimming at a 45 degree angle begging for food. But adult Oscar is ugly and boring with over sized eyes and undersized head on a big body.

Yeah i agree with oscars being ugly when old but the reason I said oscars is because people see them at young age and think it would be perfect for there 10 gallon tank and then they give em back but loads of people buy them
