I put two guppies in my jack dempseys tank about 6 months ago and to this day they are still swimming around and happy

Well done on 40K dude

Nice my Jack Dempsey has those exact colors definitely one of my favorites I own at the moment

I have 3 Jack Dempseys and they are beautiful!

Do they get along? I have 2 females and I’m thinking about adding a male

Great video! I have an Oscar with my Dempsey, they work out great

Oscar for the best tank mate. You couldn't separate my Oscar from my Dempsy without passing one off. They eat, sleep, and swim together.

I had a jack dempsey back in middle school for about 4 years and he got pretty big. Haven’t had time for an aquarium since, but I really hope i can find some more of these fish for a new tank. I’m in Alaska so you’re kind of limited to what you can find locally online or at pet shops :/

Agree, I have mixed firehouse with my jack Dempsey for years. The firehouse can hold their own. For all I know they ight be enjoying the tiffs with the dempseys.

Jack Dempsey is very nice fish! Blue Dempsey is even more beautiful!

My 125 gal has a full grown male JD, pair of convicts, pair of green terrors, 5 rohani barbs, 3 clouded archers, group of super red BN plecos, a rhino pleco, Royal pleco and L204a pleco. This tank is amazing and has very little aggression at all!

Would you think clown loaches would be unbotheres as well? I have 2 in a community tank 3" and 2" just got a pair of jd and convicts and other cichlids in my new tank but I want to buy a 125 to put them all in together

Nice. I’ve got a tank with a Jaguar, Blue Acara, Firemouth, Red Devil, and a Pike. Been thinking about adding. Green Terror or Jack D. Looks like that might be doable.

Video starts at @3:33

I’m still building cosmetically but I have two Oscars with same size Jack small attitudes but they get along 7 months in tank together.

I have 2 JD in separate tanks and neither are aggressive. They are actually very passive toward the smaller fish even though they are the largest fish in the tank.

Great video man! Jack Dempseys are some of my favorite, if you couldnt tell by my god given name. 😂

haha same here bro ! i love them

I have a male and female JD with a red spotted severum, pleco, clown loaches, black convict, and green terror.

Love Dempsey's!! I had a breeding pair in with 2 Pink convict and a Black convict and was setting up another tank to separate the convicts from the Dempsey's and when I put them all in the new tank til I cleaned and set up the old one the Dempsey's tried to kill the big B convict so he hid for 3 days til I put him back in his original tank and still is shy but the 2 Pinks are acting like they did before the change. I'm sure he will come out of his shell again, the 2 pinks are 1/2 his size and they don't bother him.

Everyone keeps telling me Jack Dempsey and green terror fish don't go with firemouth well. I'm glad I found someone that says otherwise

I have my 100 gallon tank cycled and ready to go now I’m just trying to decided what to stock it with lol I really like the Jack Dempseys. Would one of all the fish you named “minus the jaguar” be a good idea? What do you recommend?

I like the way those fish at 8:30 are just staring at you.

I’ve been dreaming of owning a Jack Dempsey and a green terror cichlid but all my room can accomidate is a 75 is that tight or just enough by keeping decor down etc thank you

Trying to setup a 55 gal and wanna do cichlids. One of the things I'm considering is getting a group of juvenile JDs and letting a pair form out of them. I'd return/sell/otherwise responsibly rehome the others and and keep the pair in the 55. Is this enough space for them if they've paired off on their own? These would be the only two fish in the tank in this case.

One of my first cichlids , one of my favorite

Hi, what other filtration do you use apart from the sponge filters?

What is the beast on 7:22 with nuhal hump? Nicaraguensis or Balzanii? Tnx...

Hey Chris How come you don't recommend JDs n Texas? Is it a tank size matter, or?

Currently I have a juvenile ebjd I'm wanting to move him with my jaguar cichlids just not to sure when I should my electric blue is doing good he's growing fast I'm a little nervous about it bc these jaguar that I have I only have two but there aggressive what do you think any advice?

What about the salvini? How many South American chiclids do you recommend for a 125 gallon tank

Thanks for all the great info! You’ve just about sold me on the J. Dempsey! They are beautiful but unfortunately, I don’t have a tank to put one in. Maybe I’ll add one to my wish list. ☺️ I do have a question. Is it possible to keep a syndontis catfish with a Flowerhorn? Or do Flowerhorns just not like sharing tank space with anyone at all?

Nice vid. Can you do another one for jewel cichlids?

I have a 55 gallon right now with a Jack Dempsey. The Jack Dempsey is around 5 to 6 inches. I tried putting a full grown convict in with him and he annihilated him. I'm thinking of salvini would be the best choice something that doesn't get super big and stays at a decent size preferably the same as the jack Dempsey

Yo chris been wanting to ask i got a 6 to 7 inch peacock bass not 100% sure what kind he is but he sold to me as a spot like peacock looks like a xingu peacock to me though but i took him in cause he had hole in the head an was in a small tank i figured i could treat him an get him better an put him with my other monster fish i have but ive done everything i feel like every other day water changes treating with salt general cure metro he will only eat live minnows or blood worms so i cant really make medicated food do you have any tricks up your sleeve or how you deal with this disease hes so healthy other then the lateral line disease aka hole in the head

How many would you suggest I could keep in my 55 gallon wanna get a mix of jack dempseys and jaguar cicklets

I keep my female in a 55 gallon high tech planted aqaurium with discus and rubberlip plecos. Anything is possible by getting them as juvies and raising them in what environment they are going to be living in.

Yeah me.too i have 2 males in a 120g planted tank with angelfish, denison barbs, BloodParrots and everything is fine ^_^

My 55g has 1 Jack Dempsey, 2 Silver Dollars, 2 Parrots , 1 Electric Blue Acara and a leopard bush fish. For some reason my acara stays in the same spot on the bottom all day unless its feeding time. I don't see anyone bothering him. Also would adding either a few rainbow fish or instead a few fire mouth cichlids be overkill for this tank? My tank looks empty

I have 7 JD's some are in different tanks but i have them with my male Red Devil cichlid, Salvini cichlid, Mayan cichlid, Hornet cichlid, Redhead cichlid, a bunch of Convict cichlids, Oscars, Blood Parrots, Texas cichlid, Flowerhorn cichlid, and 3 Red Belly Pacu's (not all the fish that i listed are in the same tank as i have 7 fish tank's in total)

Hey man, I like your videos. I am wondering what to do with a bunch of polar blue convict fry. They keep breeding and I don't like killing fish. Any suggestions would be helpful. Thanks

Hey just curious what size is that tank with your big guys in there?

Great video. I have a juvenile Electric Blue Acara that is growing like a weed. Are your tanks mostly 55 gallons? I need to upgrade to a 125 gallon for when he gets bigger and also I have a 14" Pleco that is cramped in a 55. I believe Petsmart has stopped selling 125 gallon and the 125 gallon stand combo. Do you know where I can pick up a 125 that is not overpriced? Thanks!

Hey man, do you know anywhere I could order a good sized green terror?? Been to every pet store within 300 miles (for real) and can never find one 😭

To bad i couldnt post a pick of my Jack Dempsey's. They colour is amazing the red and blue stand out strong.

I have a few peacocks in my tank with the dempsey and they seem to get on

Man I need to no what the greeney yellow fish is with nuchal hump at about 7.30 minutes, I can't wait for you to do a video on him what is he

Do u know were can find gold jack Dempsey

We have a male and female dempsey with two Angels and a common pleco and do great

I added my jack Dempsey which is about 3 inches or so into my fish tank the other day and for some reason it’s like a silver-ish color instead of that dark with the blue is that something to be concerned about or will they kind of darken up overtime

Have you tried over stocking with the two? I have a pair of electric blue acara with a juvenile jack Dempsey I got and was wandering if overstocking would be ok. So I was wandering if your overstocking worked out?

Had a fine group of fish - JD, jewel, pleco, acara and convict. Lost my acara and convict to illness. Later I tried to add a firemouth and convict and JD tore them to shit and had to remove. Back to 3 fish in my 75 haha

hi, can you keep 2 females if you aren’t trying to breed? thanks,

How do I view your live chat (becoming a fan)!!

What about dither fish for a single Jack Dempsey? What kinds?

Funny thing is, my particular firemouth is absolutely NASTY to the point where I had to remove him from the tank. He would beef with my convicts and fire eel for no reason. On the other side of the coin, my JD is docile enough to live with angelfish.

Can you put a giraffe cichlid with a male jack dempsey

I got a colony of mbunas and peacocks. I found a jack dempsey at a pet store super tiny and neglected...surrounded by dead fish. I took him home and he’s totally changed in color, and doubled in size and outgrowing the others. Just today I started noticing he’s catching an attitude with everyone in the tank. I had one before and he was really laid back. This guy....he’s on some roids. I wonder if I get him on a vegan diet...will that help

Do you not use HOB anymore?

Hey I was wondering and if anyone has any links in the comments! I'm working as a sales associate at a local pet store and I've been crazy about fish for about a year now. My boss wants me more in the fish departments for only freshwater. But I want to learn more to improve as I learn along the way! Does anyone have any suggestions or links to somewhere I can learn all about different types of pet shop fishys! If so please reply thannnnks
