Dorsal fin is.....______? On the back or tail end? :lipssealedsmilie: I've got a Jack Demsey. I'm clue less and learning lots but not sure if its a he or she.
I got it like it 1.5 in size and now its huuuge. He creeps my husband out because hubby says he's watching what he's doing. :uhoh:

jacks are very different at sexing im posting a thread on how to do this tomorrow the dorsal fin is the one running down its back. jacks will have more blue on the gill plates if there female and less if there male
Dorsal = along the back (top), Tail=caudal, pectoral= near the gills (like "arms"), ventral (or pelvic)= paired, near the tummy, before the vent, adipose= usually tiny & behind the dorsal (toward the tail), anal, near the anus (vent or "poop chute").

A lot of the eggs are gone now but she is still looking after the ones that are left. I have also noticed my sev' shaking his caudal fin in her face. Is a sevurm, texas hybrid possible?
i have yet to here about one. but a sevrum is one of the cichlid thought to equal a parrot fish, so it might be possible. but very unlikely they would juts look like ugly parrots
Thanks.
I didn't really want any breeding going on in my tank but i bought all my fish to small to sex.
Now they have started how often will they do this?

im pretty sure texas cichlids aren't as regular as convicts are but if you give her a mate it might be every month or two
