my jack dempsey bit both of my bicher's eyes out (completely) and it looked gross. my bicher was barely moving. i cannot believe he did this, the person at the pet store said they would get along. :banhim: are j.d. this aggressive?

Are you Kidding ! LOL... Jack Dempsey got the name Jack Dempsey for its aggressive behavior ... That suck about your eel.. But my Dempseys killed an 18" Clown Knife.. Thats how i scored them :)

research is very useful.. Lfs Workers are not all hobbiests and allot even though they are hobbiests have limited knowledge in certain areas.. Research before purchase is all i can suggest to you... I always buy knowing that I could lose the fish i buy do to the fact I love monsters:)

Given people here do have them in the same tank with eachother but it is known that these fish are aggressive..

How big was each?... You never really know with Dempsey's.... Just for future reference :)

And how big is your tank ...
 
my dempsey isnt even that big at all. the bicher was the same size as him almost. they got along well till today. i got back from college and i saw 2 eyes missing, i was shocked dude
my dempsey could fit right in the palm of your hands to be exact. and its a picky eater as hell. it would not eat bloodworms or shrimp pellets. so far he only eats tetra fish flakes and beef heart. ima try give him the cichlid pellets, but i dunno if he'll eat them. what else should i try
 
K so how long did he go without food... And what is your tank size...
 
didn't you just start a thread a few days ago sayin the jd was attackin the bichir?..... i guess you should have seen this coming........should have seperated them like everyone told you..............
