Hi,
I have a question about jack dempseys
Before I bought mine I researched them and found them to be quite aggressive. I never would have imagined that it would end up killing my beautiful beloved 8" tiger Oscar! The JD is about 10 " long and they were both in a 75 gallon tank with various caves for hiding in. I don't know what to do now? Should I take a chance on adding anything else to the tank or will the JD kill it to? And what would make the JD kill the oscar I never would have imagined it would be so aggressive I read they did well with oscars.??????:(
 
Wow!
i know from experience ive had plenty of dempseys with O's and they did great. So sorry for your loss but if thats the case i wouldnt add anything with him.
