Hi Everyone,

I thought I would start a thread for my favourite Cichlid of them all - Jack Dempseys. Post your photos of your Dempseys and their history - post your stories and anything that you want to say about these magnificent Cichlids.

Here are some photos of my pride of Jack Dempseys - enjoy...

Here is my 6-6.5" female I purchased from Walmart. I can't remember how long I've had here, maybe 12-16 months. Also have a smaller male I just purchased (3.5-4").






HMM....My "male" looks more female than male?
 
Cobra29svt - Your smaller JD is maybe to young to tell yet, but it looks like it is a male. One way I can tell is that the males have circle dots around their eyes whereas females have very few dots and more blotches and lines - not to mention the blue gills. I would say male for now.
