Hi everyone, I was wondering if dwarf cichlids or angelfish would make suitable tankmates for my electric blue jack dempsey. He is only about an inch and a half long right now. I see my LFS's usually have them together with these two breeds and discus at the store... just wondering if it would still work when it gets full grown. I read about how mellow these EBJD's are, but just can't help to think when they could fit a dwarf in their mouth why they wouldn't eat them. Any input would be great. Thanks!
EBJD tankmates w/ dwarfs and angelfish???
- Thread starter tats and 2 wheels
- Start date
let me put it this way: it would work with the EBJD I have, which is a total wimp and get pushed around by every tankmate I put him with, even when they are half his size ...
but you never really know for any specific fish until you try it ...

I have never seen my ebjd start nor back down from a fight. If the angel fish decides to get pushy as they often do, it will get beat down.
I've thought about angels with cichlids before because angels can get fairly aggressive, but I haven't done it yet. I keep thinking the cichlids will eventually tear up the angel.
