Jack Dempsey stocking

[confish]

hey i have a 4 foot 55uk 66 us G tank and im getting a JD what other cichlids could i have with it? i was thinking either salvini , firemouth , convict, green texas? please help

 

[dhull_41]

any of those should be allrite

 

[confish]

do you think this would work then in a 55/66 JD male, convict , salvini and then some dithers (any ideas on dither ideas)

 

[dhull_41]

if u want all those id prolly go with a female con and plenty of hiding places.the salvini and jd will prolly fight a bit but id also add some giant dainos for dithers

 

[confish]

is there any other types of dithers as im not to fond of dainos

 

[dhull_41]

well u could jus do a few more female cons they hav always worked as that for me

Ma male Dempsey will likely battle frequently with a male Salvini, Green Terror or similar Cichlid...

Keeping all females, or only one male, will increase your chances for a peaceful (read as not violent) tank.

so would this stocking work
male JD
female Salvini
female convict
giant danios ( how many )
bottom dwellers
