Hey how ya going. I want your thoughts on some tank mates for a jack dempsey. He is still fairly small and is looking pretty lonely. I know they can pretty much go with any american cichlids but for a really good look what would be best for the tank. thanks timothen

Its a 70 litre tank
The tank is really too small for a JD. Anything else will only be harassed to death. I'd consider upgrading to a 55g.

maybe a texas or an oscar.
he said 70 litre not 70 Gal , an Oscar or Texas wouldn't fit in there .

Maybe some little schooling fish like Tetras or barbs .

I'd go with this, and get rid of the dempsey. Small schooling fish are nice display especially if it is a planted tank
 
Yer get rid of the JD , dint see that he had one if them , maybe change the JD for a couple of German Rams along with a School of Tiger barbs , a School of Corys and a school of Cardinal tetras .
