I have done research on the web and this site but could not come up with a good answer for the PROPER breeding tank size for a JD or similar sized CA American Cichlid. I have seen anything from a 55g (way to small) to a 150g tank (pretty big). I wanted to get your guys opinions.
I currently have three 1.25” EBJDs and plan to get a few JDs once the EBJDs get a little bigger. They currently are in a 20g High but will all end up in a 75gallon tank until I get a pair. Once I get a pair, the remaining JDs will be placed in other tanks or sold.
I guess the main question would be is if a 75g gallon is big enough for a breeding pair of JDs or should I eventually get a 120g. (90gallon is the same footprint of a 75g only a few inches taller).
