Hi i have a problem and waz wondering if anyone could help me. i have 2 jack dempseys in one tank wit 2 FH and 2 oscars now the smallest jack dempsey just went crazy out of no were he snappez at every thing that gets close to it. :shakehead i just dont get it the smallest jack was so friendly twords the other jack and the rest of the fish in the tank but now hes all territorial and every thing :shakehead . :swear: he even bites my hand when i try to clean the tank :swear: he stared this like last night and the day before he waz so friendly :cry: please help :cry:
 
I must say, you have some of the more interesting tank mixes....Maybe the smaller JD is a male, and its finally reaching maturity, therefore getting an attitude and being territorial.
 
maybe he's in spawning mode
 
Well the tank is about 125 gallons and all of the fish have ALOT of from cuz like the two oscars are ony 4 inches and the small JD is about 4 and change and the large JD is like 5 but they started to put there heads down inlarge there gills and ram each other its pretty cool but they arent like biting each other
 
Sounds like a female who may be ready to breed? Do you have any pictures of your Jacks? Maybe one of our many members can sex them for you.
