Hey my tank consists of a JD, Convict, 5 SDz, and a Leopard Sailfin Pleco! My pleco is a baby man he is only like 3 in! MY JD is bout 3 in too but is a real aggresive fish! However he seems to be fine with the 5 Dollars. He swims around in there school all the time! I once put an oscar in with them. The oscar would be greedy and would try to eat all the food and chase the dollars away from the food. But when the JD saw this, he would literally barrel into the oscar and injure it allowing the silver dollars to eat. It was like the JD is there pack leader or something and was protecting the SDz. It was really good to watch. I eventually had to get rid of the oscar as the JD injured him too badly. 3 days ago i place a 2 in convict in with them. The JD has not accepted him. The convict is too scared to move around the tank and his fins are shredded and has bite marks on his body! However i am going to leave him in there and just see how he goes! I know Convicts are a tough fish also and hopefully he will get through it!!
 
your tank seems to have quite a bit of action going on! my fish seem to be quite mellow...
 
haha yeah man well i can tell u i have a 60 gal and the convict died over night lol! any other ideas of what fish i dempsey might leave alone??
 
well see in my tank the oscars are bosses, my jd's don't mess with them.

before i got them though they were the rulers of the tank...

in a 60 gal i don't think you can get a much bigger fish because you seem quite stocked from what i've learned.

basically the JD on his own needs a 55g minimum if i'm not mistaken.
