Unfortunately, some fish just have lousy personalities. My dempsey is awesome!

[sizors]

they are in a 100g grow out tank until they get too big for it then i will upgrade... so heres my overstock juvie stocklist.

1 JD
1 GT
1 ZZ FH
1 Oscar
1 Firemouth
1 Convict
1 Parrot
1 Peacock
1 RB Pacu
2 Pleco

I think the Dempsey is just smart enough to realize he lives in a tank where all hell is about to break loose and he is keepign a low profile...

Your stocklist is a dissaster waiting to happen...

well just have to wait and see. theres alot of theories but hey if you happen to get the right individual, it can happen.

It is completely true that aggression levels vary considerably from individual to individual...

But I think creating a stocklist like this then wondering why your JD is boring shows a lack of underestanding... You stock your fish in such a way they are miserable then wonder why they are miserable...

I'm not saying it can't work out... I'm pointing out that you have signs that it isn't working out for your Jack Dempsey...

if things get out of hand, i have a running empty 60g i have to throw some in.

You have a grossly overstocked 100 gal and a 60 gal sitting empty? That just doesn't make a gram of sense...

I was going to say that my JD acts that way sometimes to, but I looked over my shoulder and he was actually out of his hiding space staring at me. Decided I would take the hint.
