Dempsey Overload!!!

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
Very nice collection.
Is it the camera angle or not. The second pic of the EBJD appears to have extra long body form.
How are their temperament. My experience with JD was that they are only mildly aggressive to the point of being timid. They can be skitish and can easily be startled if you don’t provide them enough tankmates for security.
 
what are the white ones? Catemacos? Fenestratum?

Thank you :) It is definitely the camera angle.

They certainly don't measure up to some of the more aggressive central american cichlids but they can be aggressive. I've had some that were very skittish and some that were very bold, I guess it depends on the individual fish. They do seem to do better with some kind of schooling fish although I don't have any in this tank.

Those are my gold jack dempsey males. I personally like the gold females better, they have more color :) Here is a shot of my female who shares a 75 with her male and a school of red rainbows...
