Jack Dempsey tank mate?

[c4a4y]

I have a male 6 inch JD and he is in a 55 gallon. He used to be with a gold clown knife but beat the clown knife to much so the knife had to go. Can I get the JD a Tank mate exept for the pleco. Will an oscar do? Maybe a flower horn? Or green terror? If not another cichlid could he go with 2 silver dollars or catfish of some sorts?

i have three 3 inch jd's
and 1 4 or 5 inch GT..

Get a breeding pair.

If you decide to get an Oscar your best bet is to get one bigger than the JD, otherwise the JD will really beat him up. If you have plenty of hiding places you could try a couple firemouths or some Cons (preferably not breeding pairs)

I just noticed you have another thread on the same topic, and that you already purchased that Oscar for a tank mate. Nice looking Oscar.
