jack dempsey

Hi all, I just noticed today after I got home from work my jack Dempsey I have had a little over a year has major pop eye. (didn't have last night and is only in 1 eye at the moment) I am concerned because he is in my main tank with my shoal of 47 clown loaches and I absolutely can not lose any...

Hey everyone, hope you guys are having a great week! So, I've started noticing a problem with my Jack Dempsey.... Oh boy. I just can't seem to keep this fish happy! He is my FAVORITE! but won't let me love him lol. I just don't get how to care for this guy. Background: my brother passed away...

My pair JD breeding and laying eggs then 1-2 days later eggs turns white.(unfertilized) females have no problem with laying eggs, i tought male dont fertile over the eggs because eggs always turns white and not succeed. Any suggestion,advice?

It was sold to me as a firemouth, I've always thought it was a Jack Dempsey. It has beautiful red eyes but I haven't been able to confirm its species. Concerned for tank mates and future issues.

So I recently acquired a 29 gallon tank of a family member and I was planning in starting a cichlid tank. Would a 29 gallon tank be enough to start for a Jack Dempsey, firemouth, bushy nose pleco, and a green terror? The plan would be to upgrade to at least a 55 in about a year. Thanks for any...

I've been away for a month in rehab, and when I came back my 3.5 in JD became almost 4.5 in. The water was also 30 ppm nitrates, (my parents were feeding him but not changing the water) which was the highest it has ever been. I usually do 95% water changes weekly on my 75 gal so that the...

Hey there! I recently purchased a 150 gallon aquarium along with all of the filtration and setup required, which is a huge step up considering I've only ever had a 55 minus the larger DIY ponds I've built lol. I currently have 4 silver dollars, a common pleco, and a Jack Dempsey in the tank...

Hi, first time posting here, after some advice on a new tank setup. It's a brand new 600L tank, 60"L x 24"W x 30"H. Completely empty at the moment. I'm thinking... 1 or 2 Oscars 1 Jack dempsey 1 Green terror 1 Texas or carpintis cichlid 2 birchirs. Probably armoured bichirs Some catfish of...

I noticed this morning that my Jack Dempsey has a discoloured lump on his head. I do not believe this was there last night. Behaviour is normal aside from a bit more rapid breathing. I did a water change a couple of hours ago to make sure things are as clean as can be in there. Tank is a 75g...

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.

I currently have one delhezi and JD in a 55. Both are juvies and my fish store just got some RTMs in. Would it be worth a shot to try ONE juvie RTM??

Possible JD hybrid but I have no idea what she could be mixed with

Would you suggest for me to get a electric blue Jack Dempsey. I hear they die a lot. Is this true

Can a gt, jd, Oscar and a Bichir be in a 125 gallon tank. Also if their is anymore fish to keep with it what would it be

JD, Salvini & convict in a 75 what kind of schooling / Dither fish can I put in with them? I was thinking tiger barbs, silver dollars or Buenos Aires Tetras.

Hey, I have a bit of a problem in my 60 gallon cichlid tank, in this tank I keep a jack dempsey, a red Texas(it’s basically a hybrid between a parrot and a green Texas) and just for the fun of it I keep a rainbow shark as well. My problem is that all these fish seem to be pretty scared of me...

I have a pair of Jack dempsey's, first time parents and my first time breeding them, they laid eggs about 3 weeks ago. There are about 10-20 babies still alive and the mother is protective of them but the male is lip locking with her and they both have some bad mouth injuries. I put in a...

I believe this guy to be just that a male electric blue gene maybe?

could anyone help with the sex of these two?? They are inseparable and look a lot different from each other yet also look a lot alike. Any help would be appreciated.
