aggresiveness of jd

[catfish]

is there any difference of aggressivness between a male or female jd?

No. Same applies to all other cichlids as well. Females mature faster than males though, so oftentimes they are the dominant fish between the two, if both fish are purchased as small juveniles. And of course, the main factor in determining an aggressive CA cichlid is a given individual's personality; not the sex size or specie.

The only difference with aggression with JD's that I know of is that the Electric Blue Dempsey's are pussies and should not even be classified as a jack dempsey.

i just got a 2 inch Jd, and like my friend who had one, it seems to take the role in the tank as the old grandfather. not as quick as the others, but also not as skittish and quiick to move.

My female Dempsey is really sweet.
The only time she was real aggressive is when she had fry.

When I had my male Dempsies, they were SOB's!

My JD has never been very aggressive and now that he's 9" all he does is hide all the time. Pretty boring fish IMO.

JD's are not very agressive, just territorial. No real differences between the two.

You should try throwing a couple of giant danios in there to get them a little more active.
