Show me your Jack Dempsey cichlids,

[WOLF2013]

I am doing a video care guide on Jack Dempsey cichlids tonight! If anyone has a video or some photos of their jack dempseys that they would like to share and I will be happy to put them in my video please post them below. I will give you full credit.
Thanks.

Gladly!
This is mine, a 2 year old 5-5.5 inch male:
Here you can see a Aussie rainbow dither:Bonus pic of the day I got him:

And when he was about 2.5-3.5 inches a year ago:

Mine has been very slow growing, likely due to him being a petsmart runt and poor care on my part in his first year.
A note, they are very skittish early on, but after about 4 inches get very bold. Mine went from barely eating to being the first to attack food. Not the smartest/most interactive cichlid, but they make up for it with bright colors, a big attitude, and a manageable size.

Sounds good! Happy to share my Dempsey!
Kelly_Aquatics do you have any videos of your pair you wouldn’t mind sharing?

Standard female and an EB pair I had for a bit. Gave the male to a fellow MFKer that used him in his platinum breeding project. He got to 10in in length

Beautiful!
Who’s the big red one in the back of that last pic? The female or an offspring?

You can use my old EBJD pics if you'd like. I ask also that if possible promote MFK as well.

There are a few platinum female's in there if you look closely. I see four, not sure if they are breeder female's or offspring or both. YankeeJack would know for sure.
