What are some rare cichlids you would like to see in your tank?

I have recently been trying to breed ebjds. I have 1 male ebjd, 1 regular male, 1 female ebjd, 1 bgjd, and one regular. All are at least 4in in size. I have been rotating them around in tanks, changing the scape, pairs, dithers, tank size, pretty much everything I can think of and just can not...

I just got 2 electric blue jack dempseys today and they had a somewhat stressful trip home. I don't want to add any more stress by venting them tonight. I know it's hard to tell with ebjds but I'd appreciate it if someone could see something that I don't and be able to tell me if they were male...

I am starting a new breeding project with electric blue jack dempseys. I was wondering if anyone knew where I could get either, bgjd, ebjd, or a mated pair of any of the 2? I don't really want to spend a ton of money on the fish but am willing to pay for good genetics and guaranteed bgjds. Any...

Can someone please tell me what kind of fish this is? He is at petland and I was wondering if I would be able to rescue him and put him in one of my tanks.

I recently acquired a female jack Dempsey who seemed to be slightly pregnant at the time. 2 weeks later she is eating heavier and her stomach is swollen. She is in a 75 gallon tank with another female jd and a male, there are also a few other fish as well. Is there any way to entice her to lay...

After reading all the bad reviews and very few good ones on electric blue jack dempseys I decided to make the leap. I bought two yesterday at my lfs. I had been setting up a tank for them for the last 2 months but as luck would have it I bought an 11.25" Oscar the day before these beauties came...

When venting a fish, what exactly am I looking for?

I have a larger male convict and smaller female I got about 4 months ago. They seemed to do well together in my community tank. I noticed the female who is about 1.5 to 2" started looking a little fat lately. I went out of town for the day and came home this morning to an unexpected surprise. Is...

I have 2 convicts and was wondering if anyone could tell me what sex they are.

I just got an older jack Dempsey from a coworker. They said the tank was perfect Nd it only had a pleco as a tank mate. It looks very unhealthy and I have it in quarantine in case it has something. Does anyone have any suggestions on what to do?

I am setting up a new tank tomorrow and was wondering if bed rock from a nearby creek would be good for the bottom of my tank. I obviously will be boiling the rock and will cycle it for a while before adding any fish. I was just looking for opinions on making this an all natural tank.

Will a jack Dempsey female keep eggs in her mouth until its time for them to hatch?

I can't just leave anything alone so I've decided to add a sand substrate and a few decorations before I set up my new tanks this week. I'm always looking for ideas of what to do differently.

I am getting ready to set up my new 40g long and 50g long tanks and have decided to paint a background on one of them. My girlfriend is a tattoo artist so she will be the one painting everything. I am mainly looking for ideas of what to use as a background. Any ideas would be appreciated.

I have gotten the bug for my aquariums. I currently have an established 75gal tank with 2 adult jack dempseys, 2 convicts, 4 cichlids I'm not sure of the breed, 1 leopard pleco, and a gold fish. I have a small 5gal tank, a 50gal long, and picking up another 40gal long. All tanks were free so I'd...

I have a few fish I bought in an assorted tank and would like help identifying.

I have acquired 2 jds a few months ago that I was told were male and female. After researching I have determined both to be female. I was told they are about 3 yrs old. I would like to get a male to breed them but am unsure of whether they will mate and how big of a male to get. Any help would...
