    New Jack Dempseys - Hiding behind filter

    Okay, I knew they were more skittish than others but was just worried!! And as of right now, water parameters are in good standing, doing 35-50% water changes everyday until tank is fully cycled. They will be staying in there for a bit to grow before adding them to the tank with my Oscar. I...

    New Jack Dempseys - Hiding behind filter

    I ordered two Jack dempseys from liveaquaria and got them in yesterday and they are only an inch long. I have them in a 5 gallon tank right now in quarantine and to grow them out to add to my aquarium. Both of them have been staying behind the HOB filter and haven’t swam much at all around the...

    Cichlid ID

    That’s awesome! I’m planning on building a 200 gallon out in our garage here soon! So the JD will be going with the Oscar for now atleast! Maybe if I moved them both into the 200g it would work out better? Hopefully all goes well when he’s moved out of the quarantine tank! I was more worried...

    Cichlid ID

    I was just about to make an update as I just got my JD order yesterday and is in quarantine now...I’m about to start building a tank here in a month or two to eventually put them in but I don’t want my oscar getting hurt! So maybe I’ll just move him to the new tank alone until I find a good...

    Cichlid ID

    Okay so I found someone that will take the African cichlid after its quarantined. Now my question is this: my oscar(Dwight) has a pretty big attitude problem so I’m thinking I will go with a Jack Dempsey. I want something that will be able to hold their own against Dwight. I just want to make...

    Cichlid ID

    Okay so I have a 75 gallon tank that homes my oscar who is about 3.5 inches right now. At the time I got both of them and this one was very aggressive towards the other so I rehomed the other one. Would any of the fish mentioned above be able to live in this same tank with my oscar? I know I’ll...

    Hi!

    Hi! I’m new to this forum and pretty new to fishkeeping! I’ve spent countless hours watching videos and going through forums like this in hopes of learning as much as I can! I started last year around July with a 10 gallon community tank but only had it for two days before realizing I wanted a...

    Cichlid ID

    Awesome thank you so much! Someone in my town had said it looked like a young red devil and I was hoping it wasn’t so I could put him in my oscars tank! I started out with a 30 gallon community tank the middle of last year but decided I wanted to have one or two bigger, more personable fish. I...

    Cichlid ID

    So I was visiting my LFS and saw this guy floating at the top of the tank not moving very much and gasping for air so I picked him up to bring him home. All they told me was that it was an African cichlid. After bringing him home and acclimating him, he’s sat on the bottom. I have a young Oscar...
