Somebody on Craigslist has a 6" Dempsey he claims is an Electric Blue for $15! Wants to make room for his Convict Babies:screwy:

Anyway, I now have my tank full of african Peacocks! 1.5" to 4", 17 total. It's 220g....somebody please tell me everything will be ok if I add him! :uhoh:
 
You could try it.... if you want to risk it.
Africans tend to be more aggressive than american cichlids and have different water perametres, however I've found Aulonacara are much more peaceful to their tankmates then some of the other africans.
And from what I hear the blue dempsys are much more mild in temprement to the regular coloured Dempsy.
Ive never mixed the two, and I know most people will tell you that you can't but if you want to risk it it's your choice. I think the tank size would prevent any troubles but I could be wrong.

could always set up a little seperate tank for him~?
 
mine was with a eureka reds 3 for a few months now it is by him self he was getting picked on a little but he got to eat every day and had no frayed fins or sickness may be a little stress but that is it.
 
It might be okay if the EBJD is already 6" but no one can tell you for sure, EBJD are never a sure bet.
 
I rarely see EBJDs on craigslist honestly.The cheapest cichlid I have seen were Frontosa at 7 inches for 20 dollars on craigslist.
