Jack dempseys?

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
75g be fine for a JD pair, long as a male and female that are paired. change the HoB to a AC110 and water changes to fin level or 90%. My pair breed like rabbits and do fine in the 75g. just do not over feed. i would post a vid but folks have to be really tired of seeing it.


Naw go ahead and post. I'd love to see it! Unfortunately I don't have a female jsut 2 males. Lol. And I also have multiple fish in my tank.(roommate keeps adding fish despite me telling him not to. So at this point I'm doing 50%+ water changes weekly to keep the nitrate levels down. So i'll need a bigger tank anyways. I'll prob end up rehoming the little jack and keep the big one in the 55 by himself once i get another tank.
 
ok, you asked for it, male comes out about half way through. this there 3rd spawn, 3 spawns ago or 3 months.

I have giant danios and khuli loaches. At first my JD was hell bent on killing them all- she gave up. Now she is content just to watch them swim/ crawl around. Dithers really do helpbut you have to have enough of them. 1 danio will be dead in the morning. 3 or more (more is better) will live well with just about any thing in a big enough tank and their constant movement distracts from all cichlid grudge matches- just a thought

tried Giant Danios with my Dempsey(had 20 in my 125g) the constant chaos of their swimming seemed to scare him and he would stay hidden all the time. Now that I rehomed them he is out and about again.
