Best food for Jack Dempseys?
- Thread starter adgolde
- Start date
A good balanced prepared food, I use hikari cichlid pellets for a staple, guppies snails shrimp etc. should be used as treats, each provides some nutrition, but no one live item will provide a complete diet and keep your fish healthy long term.

pshychadelicdrea,
That sounds like an excellent set up for a jack dempsey. Be cautious however, of the agression of the Green Terror. Since they are similar in coloring and shape they may be agressive towards each other. I had a Green Terror i had to return because he beat up all of my tank mates. Sometimes i would wake up in the middle of the night and hear him hissing at my other fish! Be cautious and you may need a divider for the first week so they can adjust.
