Dude, did you separate them yet? I think you should give them a little time to get used to each other (unless one is totally tearing the other up.) I have a blue acara and a JD in a 60 gal (among a couple others.) I got the acara first (along with a Nic)... then a couple weeks later, I added the JD. The acara kept going after the JD and chasing her to the top of the tank... but by the next morning, they were both swimming around the tank and ignoring each other. I figure they must have duked it out during the night (no one was hurt in the morning) and settled their differences. Now, they get along fine... although, the JD does put the acara in his place when he starts acting like a bada$$... but she has NEVER nipped at him or hurt him. I do admit... its a bit of a love/hate relationship!! Maybe you could keep yours in the same tank if you rearrange and give them some time to get used to each other as neighbors.
well since you have had the Jack Dempsey longer than the other fish he sees the tank as his. even rearranging the tank wont work "its his tank" he needs a bigger space
Yeah the acara was one of my favorite fish, It did not actually happen that quickly this thread is semi old. Oh well live and learn. The Jack dempsey is gone as well I was pissed at him and got a cash refund and now have 8 African cichlids all playing well togethermeanbestorque;2840932; said:
Awww, that is a shame! I know JD's can be quite vicious at times but they really are such wonderful fish!
