Hey Hotfishgirls, is that the EBJD I sold you about 4 months back? He looks like he lost some weight.

Regular JDs grow faster than Electric Blues.

Heres some crappy pics of my two.

He eats like a woosy but is doing great.He is about to go in a 400 gallon we just bought.

first of all, africans and americans don't mix. second, 1 water change a week should be your minimum. one every two weeks just doesn't cut it.

He didn't say that the Electric Blue Dempsey and the Frontosa were in the same tank. Also, most Africans cichlid species that live outside of the rift lakes can do very well with Central and South American cichlids. Paratilapia polleni, for example, is commonly kept in new world cichlid community tanks. Finally, depending on stocking levels and tank size, one water change every two weeks can be enough. Since he isn't asking why his fish are all sick, I am he has a relatively large, understocked tank, especially since electric blue jack dempseys tend to be very fragile.

They do grow to a smaller size as well as growing slower, with regards to deformities etc they certainly do have a different body shape to regular JDs, though I have seen lots that look amazing
