I finally got my hands on an electric blue jack dempsey!! he is apparentlyu aprox 3 cntrmetres in length at themoment, and getting ordered in. shall have him in a fortnight!! can't wait.
AANNDD i managed to get a new tank But was not the size i wanted. but the deal was too good to pass up so i got myself a 5 by 3 by 2 footer whichwill hold two oscars, ebjd(eventullay, im keeping him on his own till he is a bit bigger and stronger!), 2 small plecos, 4 tiger barbs and a small cray fish for about 8 to 12 months (all fish juvies) and then i will have saved up enough to hopefully get something like a 8 by 3 by 3 tank. that would be amazing!!
Few questions id like to ask if anyone feels like helping me.
In your oppinion:::
1 what would be the best temp for an ebjd to bring out the best colour and keep him healthy?
2 which kind of lighting would you use to make sure he developes his colour well?
3 besides colour flake and food, is there any food's which will boost his growth and colour development naturally?
4 untill he reaches about 4 to 5 inches i will be keeping him in a seperate tank, i cant afford to big but dont want him to mis out on growing to his best capacity, what size tank would be best till he's bigger?
5 what is the best water conditions ie: hard or soft water? nitrite and nitrate levels, etc etc...???
