I Lost My Favorite Fish: A Tribute to Our Jack Dempsey Cichlid
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 7 июл 2024
- I lost my favorite fish, my Jack Dempsey cichlid in my classroom. “Jack” had an incredible background and rescue story. This Jack Dempsey was left over from the previous teacher years ago. After fixing up his tank, this Jack Dempsey quickly became a favorite fish of ours, and made us start the channel Cichlid Bros.
He was a beautiful male Jack Dempsey that never showed any aggression to tank mates. He started in a 20 gallon tank and was upgraded tank sizes all the way up to a 110 gallon tank. He was a legend on the channel, and he’ll always have a place in our hearts!

Jack was my favorite celebrity fish 😭
REST IN PEACE JACK
Some people don't understand how much a fish can mean and how awesome their personalities can be
Jack was a stunner beautiful colours, the teacher that passed away would be so grateful for taking care of him, love the story about him and your adventure 👍🏼
RIP Jack!
Quinn, it was a science teacher who ignited my interest in the hobby, and cichlids 30 years ago. RUclips brought me back to the hobby over 3 years ago. I have to believe you are inspiring the next generation of hobbyists. Thanks for what you do in the classroom and for what all “the bros” do on this channel!!!
That’s awesome, and what I hope to do with my classroom! Thanks for following along with the channel 👍🏻
Always found it interesting that JD live 8-10 years and Oscars live up to 20
RIP Jack. I will carry the torch as it was he and the cichlid bros who influenced me to setup that 75 with my very own Dempsey. Peace
Thanks and best of luck with your tank!
Amazing tribute, thanks for sharing Jack’s story.
What an Awesome fish, well done you for giving him a long and healthy life.
Always tough to lose a fish after so many years of time & effort caring for it. Jack was definitely a good one.
Swim easy my guy. 🤙🏼
Sorry to hear. It’s always had to lose a fish regardless of the circumstances.
RIP Jack. My Jack Dempsey turned 4 this year and he's now 10" long. He's getting up there in years and has always had his own tank.
What a glow up Jack had since you started to care for him! Sad to see him go, but he has a great story
Thanks man!
I can understand the feeling of this as I too lost my fish just recently. RIP Jackie
Rip jack 😢 you beauty ❤
Sorry for your lose. I believe jack had a great life in the classroom.
Sorry to hear about Jack. You have to Love the inspiration he provided.
RIP Jack. I also had an old Jack Dempsey that lived his days out in a community tank of gentle fishes. He was completely peaceful with his community tank mates and he also died of natural causes in the end. I had six tanks at the time and was completely hooked on the hobby. I am now in recovery - lol
RIP jack I am sorry for the loss. He was a beautiful fish and well taken care of. 😢❤
Sorry for the loss brother Quin..you rescued him and gave him a Happy life..He along with Joker and Nessy are the stars of the channel forever.❤😊
S.I.P Jack
Rip Jack but not many fish can have such a legacy so he should be very proud being a legend
So sorry to hear about your loss! Joker, the female convict and now your OG Jack. Dempsey’s are my all time favorite cichlid as well. Happy Trails Jack..RIP
Thank you!
SIP Jack! Great fish great journey
I’m sorry for your loss. I owe my tank set up entirely to you and your tank. I got a 75 for Christmas. A JD, GT& Firemouth. Dark substrate. Thank you for your amazing RUclips channel. I appreciate you guys. I have a few RUclips shorts of my tank. S.I.P. Jack!

That’s awesome, love to hear it!
I love jack dempseys ! I regret rehoming my electric blue jack dempsey several years ago. RIP Jack
Sorry for your loss. R.I.P. Jack💪🏾 you guys have helped me in more ways than you know with ya'll videos. Thanks for everything ya'll post. I've also been in the hobby since I was a kid because of my father and oldest brother, yet i still learn something new every.
Thank you, and glad to hear the videos have been helpful!
My male jack died two weeks ago. He was a foot long and a pound and half his female is still alive. RIP to your jack 😢.
Rest in Peace Jack ..
Thank you for sharing this story
I am so sorry to hear about Jack! I was also inspired by Jack to get my own Jack Dempsey (named Aldo) and he is by far my favorite fish I have had. This video made me tear up. Thank you to Jack and to Cichlid Bros for all you do to inspire those of us in this amazing hobby!
Really appreciate that!
Man sorry about Jack.. I lost a Frontosa I had for 22 years and it was not a happy time. Thanks for sharing and of course get another. Kc
Omg that’s so sad I’m sorry to hear that
So sorry for your loss- but it’s clear this video is about gratitude for all that Jack gave you, your brothers, and your students. Watching your videos also helped inspire me to start our high school library tank- so Jack’s legacy continues with your viewers! SIP Jack!
SIP Jack may there be plenty of food and ladies for you in the big pond in the sky
You really got me on this story😢Sorry for your lost 😢🙏
Great story and I was really glad to hear it. S.I.P. Jack
Rip Jack. I just recently lost my JD. I know how you feel. Thanks for sharing Jacks story.
What a fantastic tribute and I love hearing the story of the birth of Cichlid Bros. Cichlid bros was my inspiration to get into Cichlid keeping so Jack indirectly created my love of the Hobby. In November I took over the family 36 gallon my wife wanted to get rid of. I now have the 36 gallon, 20 gallon (pair of Kribs), 90 gallon (South American Cichlids), 75 gallon (African Cichlids) and now a 5 gallon betta tank. I cracked up when you used to term multiple tank syndrome. I have that and do not see a cure in my future. I very much enjoyed this video.
Thank you and love to hear that! Glad Jack could be an inspiration for some!
Awesome tribute video. I remember seeing your jack for the first time and asking what kind of fish he was. My interest was your green terror but when I saw him swim by your jack I told myself I'm putting those two together also in my tank.
Rest in peace Jack! Sorry brother!
Thanks Mike!
Rip Jack what a stunner he was
A very sad day for fish lover like me,I know this is not the end of all,we can still replace another one,but the old one is the most memorable always.
I am so sorry to hear this. My Jack Dempsey named Titan is approaching 3 years old and he is 9 inches long. I have him in a 75 gallon tank. Dempseys are my favorite fish. RIP Jack. I hope my Titan lives as long as he did.
Sorry to hear about Jack. Sucks anytime you loose one of your pets
Aww No! Rest Easy Jack!
Great video on the life of Jack and how the Cichlids bros was formed. RIP Jack
Sorry for your loss. Great story. You guys create awesome content.
Thanks for following along!
Awww sorry to hear about Jack my boys are getting old to and I’m dreading that day 😢
Cool story Quinn! It’s funny in fish keeping how a certain fish can be more of a pet than a hobby. This makes me want to get a Jack Dempsey !
Thank you, and I’d highly recommend it!
REST IN PEACE JACK.
Great story😃
Just came across yall recently. I was out of the hobby for years after losing everything in a house fire back in 2014. I've dipped back in and have 3 tanks currently. At the time of the fire I had 8 aquariums with various fish. It stinks when you lose a fish, they become family like cat's, dogs etc. I had Jack Dempsey also named Jack when I was a kid, loved that fish. He was the coolest, and he was my buddy. Seeing your videos with your Jack has made me want to get a huge tank and get another JD. RIP Jack and thanks for sharing him with us.
Thank you for your story
Thanks for listening!
Been toying around with getting a jack for a few years was deciding between that and a green terror for my cichlid community think im sold now
S.I.P jack one of the most beautiful jacks ever. In tribute of jacks passing im gonna name my jack dempsey jack. I also have another jack that im gonna let you name him.
I went and got a Jack Dem for my 125 because of you guys & he’s my favorite fish!! SIP JACK!!!
Congrats to give this cichlid a nicer live than a 20 gallon prisoner....He appreciate it with beautiful colour and awesome behavior
I’m so sorry ❤❤❤❤😢
Dam I’m sorry my bro…I’ve been following you guys since the beginning and I do have to say that your Jack and Green Terror are the fish that got me to switch over from Africans to South and Central American Cichlids. Jack was definitely a legend and to be honest I’m toying with the idea of using my now empty 90 gallon to house a Jack and Green Terror ? Sorry about the loss and even though it’s part of the hobby it really sucks to loose such an amazing fish🙏🏻
I have a 18 year old Jack Damsey, he still looks great. My favorite fish by far
swim in peace jack😿
What a beautiful fish. I’m glad you were able to give him an equally beautiful life. SIP Jack!
You inspired me to get my very own Jack & he's doing awesome. Sorry to hear about ur beautiful fish.
I have always loved the natural chiclids, rather than the Electric this, and the Hybrid that. A natural Jack Dempsey has always been a favorite since I started the hobby back in the late 60's early 70's. The color in yours was outstandingly beautiful! Sorry to hear but it sounds like he had a long and well cared for life and was actually given a second chance at life. So he gave back in the only way her could. S.I.P.
I had a Frontosa Cichlid for 35 years but lost him during Hurricane Sandy I was Heartbroken so I know what it’s like
A truly beautiful fish. I was reminded of him when I saw a tank of babies this weekend at the fish store. Someday I hope to have a tank big enough for one.
My first cichlid to get me back in the hobby was my Jack Dempsey who I call jackboy he is a year old hopping he lives as long as yours did 😢 Rip Jack.
Rest in peace jack.
Sorry for your loss
so sorry for your loss. swim in paradise. Jack inspired me to get my own jack dempsey cichlid!
Thank you! Love to hear he was inspiration for some!
I just bought a jack jr because of you guys, can’t wait to see him grow,
Awesome!
@@CichlidBros is 1 jack,1 firemouth,1 convict, 3 rainbows, 1 ebc too many fish for a 55 gallon tank, and if so what do recommend being taking out for it to work long term
Although unfortunate, what a Great story. RIP Jack🐟
so long jack 🖖
My jack lived for seven yrs. Sorry for R losses Great video 😊 Detroit
Sorry for your loss! I grew up raising jack dempseys. My favorite fish period. I have a mating pair now, and going on my 5th brood soon. I also kept one from the first brood! I love the fish:)
Great story love it much respect R.I.P. Jack
I have my first ever jack dempsey living in a 75 gallon with a huge green eared sunfish! 😅Sounds crazy but they live in harmony quite well. I also have black sand and painted the aquarium back black so it’s a really dark and natural looking aquarium which makes the dempsey’s colors POP!
What an amazing story. So sorry for your loss. I've enjoyed watching Jack since I started following you guys. Big fan over here!
What an amazing story. Your channel has been a huge inspiration to me so thank you to Jack for making that happen. Sorry for your loss.
Thank you! And glad to hear that!
I had a couple jack dempseys. They were actually the second cichlids I ever bought after the tiger oscar.
🙏rest in peace
S.i.p jack
Rip jack 🙏
Sorry to hear that 😢
Rip beauty jack ❤
I really like your classroom aquariums, but you definitely need a nice home aquarium. Perhaps Troy can help make it happen once he’s done with his massive plywood aquarium project.
Sorry to hear about jack may he R.I.P 😪
Thank you
RIP Jack what a guy! What in the song called you play over your videos?
🐟🥰👍

Welcome!
Sorry about Jack time to get another one 😢
Was this the same awesome Jack Dempsey whose pics were posted on IG? If so he was well taken care of his coloration popped!💯
Yes it was 👍🏻
yesterday i lost the fish that got me into the hobby. i want to think that he passed due to old age. but he was only 5 and it was unexpected and i feel cconflicted.. gonna miss the guy.
Sorry to hear!
Sorry for your loss I picked up aJD about six months ago at about 2 inches he's doing good except he's getting a nukal hump on his head.Maybe some other breed? I don't see anyone else with aJD that.
My Jack D (Jeffrey Dahmer) is my favorite fish. Still kicking at about 5 inches in a tank with wild bluegill and a baby bass. Amazing species.
I have 2 dempsey that grew fast, but my convict and my fire mouth seem to be growing slowly. I have them in a 75 gallon. I feed frozen food every day. Should I switch to pellets? I also have 2 oscars and a Texas cichlid in that tanks as well
Question? I have a mating pair in a 75g. I have high flow water throughout the tank. Is that ok?
My favourite firemouth cichlid died 1.5 years ago. Jumped out of the tank. 😭
Sorry to hear!
Whats the other name for my other Jack Dempsey
?
