how big is the jd now? from all ive read on here thats about all you can keep due to waste, aggresion, size ect. but just my 2 cents worth. i know that may not be the answer you want, or i could be wrong but i put 1 in my 55 and got a lot of neg feedback due to what i had with it. so i took it out and added 2 jewels so far no problem but only been couple days have a 10g if i need to move some around.
well i have also heard that 55 gallon is minimum for a dempsey but wouldnt it get preety lonely in there by itself?if i knew that they where more like oscars and didnt really want company i would feel better but how do you know?oh by the way he is about 3 inches im guessing about6 or 7 months old. how about yours?
ok cool so just one of either of those will be fine right? lots of hiding spaces right? what about after the convict/salvini is at full 6'' and the dempsey reaches 10'' still shouldnt be a problem?
what about a red devil? will the two get to0 big for a 55 gallon? would they get along ok?
how about a female jack for my male?
how about a female jack for my male?
Red devil's need a much larger tank and are a lot more aggressive than JD's.
A pair of JD's would need a 75g tank.
Personaly i would only put in a convict (max size 4") or a salvini (max size 6").
ok i think im going to go with one convict thanks alot krytan am i supposed to aim for a female due to territorial issues or does it matter?how easy are convicts to sex?size difference between a jd and convict wont cause a problem? thanks again
Convicts are touth little fish that are more than capable of looking after them selves. If you put a female in it is possible they would breed and then you'll have some cool convict/JD hybrid fry.
wow i had no idea that the two where capable of breeding that would be awsome so i think im going to try and get a female just incase.what kind of things if any are indicators of a female/male?
