My Jack Dempsey

[joshbou56]

My male Jack Dempsey. He's about 8 months old. Need to get live plants. I'm tired of the fake ones!

Nice Jack!

Sweet fish!

He's stunning! But I'm just gonna say I wouldn't risk live plants usually a waste of money when it comes to JDs they will just destroy them.

Wow beautiful JD. I am trying to find a Male for my Female. Agree don't waste your time with like plants. JD's may up root.

Wow he is great!! I loved my jack so much!

 

[Fibsog]

Dont do live plants. Jacks will uproot!

Wow what a gorgeous Dempsey!!

This is mine. So pale in comparison

I have to say cheryl your Jd doesnt look too happy and the water looks rather murky, when they turn pale like this its usually because of stress. How much and how often are you changing water?

It's pale as I changed the tank it's in before this picture and the tank I can never keep clear for some reason. I do water changes once a week and have the water tested and everything's good so we are unsure why it won't stay clear...

Probably goin to change filter system for this tank as it's full of cichlids and a pleco. It's a homemade tank so I originally thought it was just the glass is so thick it's not clear but with the regular changes (50-40%) it's clear right after on all sides so I'm lost! Any tips on cleaner water is appreciated!!

What are you running for a filter? How big is the tank?

 

[cheryldooley]

I'm running an aqua clear for a 50 gallon tank and it's a 40 gallon tank..
