One other quick question im getting a bigger tank in like a week would it be ok to put a texas cichlid in with my paired jds? Or would it be a death wish for the texas?

Ok thank you. and since they are spawning that means that I have the water perfect for them rrigjt?

My jacks spawned about 2 weeks ago. Then I think that the mom ate the fry. Then on sunday I notices there were new eggs in the tank. I was just wondering if that is ok or if I should do something? I heard that it was normal for them to spawn 5 to 6 times a year but twice in 3 weeks? Im just a...

Would definately agree that the 2nd one is a female.

I would say male.

Ive been watching them for the past hour and they seem to be acting fine. Part of the cloudyness could have something to do with I did my complete gravel vac today too and stirred up all of the gunk that was on the bottom.. What do you think?

Its town water. and I will add a little more dechloranator. Thank you

I just did my weekly water change and my water out of my tap had a yellowish tint. I conditioned it and everything I just dont know if I should b worried or not or what should I do to try and fix it? Thanks

and I have a spare 10g that Im not using right now should I move them to that for the time being?

I really like how helpful everyone on here seems to be ive been reading on here for quite sometime but have never posted till recently. But the 2 females to 1 male is good? But if its 2 males to1 female will I have problems down the road?

from what I can tell by my JDs Im pretty sure I have 1 male and 2 females, but sometimes I think it could be 1 female and 2 males. But if there are 2 females and one male that would mean my chances are pretty good for breeding or am I wrong in that? Sorry for all the questions on this, but I...

ok sounds good. Do you know anything about sand over gravel or does it matter. I read that JDs like a more muddy bottom so I was wondering if sand would be better for them over gravel.. I just want to make the best tank possible for them..

I was just referring to a Jack Dempsey tank that would be all that would be in there besides maybe a bottom feeder

This may be kind of a stupid question, but I was just wondering if when I get my 55g all set up and running for my JDs if I can plant it at all or if they will just tear them up? Or should I just concentrate on caves and such? Also should I go with sand or gravel? People at my lfs told me...

I got into the hobby when I was a lot younger, My dad had a tank that I was always staring at... Then I got older and started to settle down with my girlfriend (now fiance) and she told me that she had always wanted a fish tank, so two years ago I bought her a little 10g community tank then we...
