If I read his other posts correctly, it is a 29 gallon.

He shouldn't have the JD there let alone more fish. He has asked about cichlids in another post and got advice on dwarfs. Appears he has decided to do what he wants.

if this is your 29 gallon tank, you can put NOTHING else in there and in fact, a 6 inch jack dempsey cannot be maintained in there for very long.

Dont listen to cichlid keeper. A 29 gal is way too small for a JD. Broad statements like his are simply bad advice.
Ive had about 5 cichs in a 29 gal and they where just fine.
5 apistos? fine! 5 JDs? Animal cruelty! How do you define "just fine" Did the fish live more than a week? I guess thats just fine right? I guess I could put a puppy in a 10 gallon and if it lives more than a few months thats just fine right?

29g + Dempsey

I've got a 13 yr old dempsey in a 29g right now.

Of course, the 29 was just to house the dempsey until the owner who moved gets a chance to set up his 55 that the dempsey lived in. I had to take the dempsey to where the 29g was and put it there for temp, but the person that owned the 29g was tired of it and gave it to me.
