Hey all, just cycled and got my wifes new 75 setup/moved. She wanted the jack Dempsey she had picked out for my 100 Cichlid whos about 3 inches long. OK, no problem honey.

...Here's the problem :)
Jack hits ANYTHING, flakes, pellets, fingers, cats paw, that touches the top of the water like a Bass nailing a Top Water plug.
But the wife wants something "Pretty" to swim near the surface, like a school of something..../smacks forward already....

Any thoughts on what I could put in there that schools (I'd settle for a school of 2 lol) that would make Jack think twice?
FYI: Other than stuff at the top, he's timid, and just likes to hang out in caves or sleep, never bothered anything else.
 
Maybe giant danios but not sure if he would catch them.
And now i want to go fishing top water lures...LOL
 
I know, been awhile since I Did some good Backwater boat fishing with top lures. Always loved the sound of something hitting!
