Random cichlid questions...

What is the scientific name for a convict, true green terror, and a Jack Dempsey, and does Rapps have them?
What is the max size for a JD male/female?
Can I put a JD with a Sveni in a 40 breeder together for life?


I'm sure I'm forgetting some so I'll post them later...

Thanks
Mike

convict = Cryptoheros nigrofasciatus
true gt = Aequidens rivulatus
JD = Archocentrus octofasciatus

rapps has blue dempseys and marbled convicts (I think) but right now I don't think he has the true green terror. you can always check out his stocklist or email him from his website www.tangledupincichlids.com.

Be careful with blue dempseys, they're EXTREMELY hard to raise to adulthood. If you're not looking for anything too specific in terms of JD and Convict then just go to your LFS, they should have a ready supply. True GT's are a little harder to come by but Rapps doesn't have them right now. Try SharkAquarium.com for those. . . George's lists are never up to date so just send them an email and he'll let you know what he has. Good luck on your search.

Oh, max sizes for JD, about 12in on a male and about 8in on the female. . . but this is all subjective to care/housing and individual specimen.
