hey guys. i just got my 90 gallon and it is cycling so im figuring out the stock. i definatly want a jack dempsey. the are beautiful fish and dont grow to big for me. what can i add with it. my LFS has them at around 1-2 in long.(i know they will grow fast.....). what could i add with it. i want fish that are carnivores or at least omnivores that eat mostly meat. that way my homemade food can feed them all. i was thinking more cichlids? also, i want som live plants. i know JDs usuall destroy them so i will put them in pots or tied to logs. what are some hardy plants?
90 gal tank with jack dempsey. tankmates?

U can do a severum, savini, convict, firemouth,oscar, green terror... And for hardy plants i would do anubias barteri and some java fern
I would say parrot fish, red devil, geophaegus, convicts firemouth, silver dollars or Africans (they do fine with my O's and jag)

no the geophagus are to peaceful and the African cichilds shouldn't be with CA cichilds...
green terrors convicts firemouth or an oscar try and get the oscar alittle smaller because they grow fast
thanks guys! i thought a firemouth couldnt go with a JD becuz the JD is so much more aggressive. also, i would love an oscar but for 1, they kill live plants. also, a JD and an oscar would almost fully stock the tank. wouldnt it? i want th tank to look full and 2 fish isnt full looking.... also i want some sort of carpet plant to cover about 1/4 of the sand. i was thinking dwarf hair grass. would that work? i dont want a moss carpet. i want something that resembles grass
ok kool ill keep them in mind then. anything about the oscar with a JD and what else i could put in or about the carpet plant?
My gymnogeophaus gets along with my Africans and JDs but every fish has it's own personality too
