You Cichlid Bros should hook up with the Plecostomus Sisters!
Great vid man, I have had juvenile jds for about 6 months and haven’t seen much growth they are in a 20 gallon to grow out and there’s only 2 they are fed bloodworms and brine shrimp they are still not very colorful. I was wondering if this was a normal thing for juveniles. Maybe I am just too anxious to get those beautiful colors.
Chase Morrow thanks! I would say that’s pretty typical. They may hit a growth spurt soon. Just keep solid water parameters and they should grow soon. Good luck
Nice cool tank
HOUSE OF CICHLIDS thanks!
PLEASE make a Green Terror fish breeding video...TIA
Added this to the list!
@@CichlidBros thanks for replying, I really like your videos.
I'm from India & very interested in Fish hobbies.
I have 2 tanks 1 for Community fish tank of 125 litres which has Goldfish, Angel Fish & Danios another 1 for Green Terror 1 pair.
hello, i have a question about my tank :)
i have a 120g/450l aquarium with 2 electric blue acara, 2 jack dempsey, 1 electric jack dampsey, 2 rainbowcichlids and 6 angelfish. Do you think i can add a green terror? i think it might work but i wanna be sure :)
thanks in advance! :D
pj hey there. I think adding a green terror could work in a tank that size. I’d keep an eye on the angelfish particularly, as they could be bullied some. Plenty of hiding spots could also help reduce potential issues
@@CichlidBros alright, thats great to hear! :D i do have a spare tank too so if things get too wild i can always move them :)
I have a mean green terror that seems really friendly to a Jack Dempsey. Odd, maybe I can get a new hybrid.
I just had a pair of JDs breed, not knowing 1 was a JD 🤦♀️, but now I have a whole bunch of eggs in a tanks with oscars and JDs... hopefully you see this and can help before the babys get eaten.
Best option is letting the eggs hatch and then move the fry to a separate tank a few days later. Good luck!
about what size do you recommend releasing jack dempseys into a community tank. i have one secluded about maybe 1.5 inches. not in a rush to add him but just want a good idea of when it’s safe to release him. my other fish are 2 oscars about 3” at most and 2 black convicts about the same size. i have a 125 gallon long
MY JACKS ATE 3 ENTIRE SPAWNS....OF HUNDREDS OF FISH EACH TIME. THIS 4TH TIME I SNATCHED THE FRY OUT OF THE TANK.
So the two from Caylors. The one with bands or strips is that the male?? and the bigger one the female? The one with strips kinda looks like a convict.......... I have a pair now got them small 5 years ago and they have laid eggs several times and had fry. The big one 6.5 inches I believe is the female while the smaller one with bands stripes vertical (looks like a convict) is only like 4.5 inches. Moved them now from a 75 gal to a 120 low boy Oceanic aquarium tall and put in their large clay pot. Will see. Nice vid.
Yep. Bob had a very large female JD. Thanks for watching!
My Dempseys just hatched their first brood while we were on vacation, and we came back to hundreds of free swimmers! I separated the rest of the tank mates, and if I want to try and grow to sell the fry to my lfs, should I take the parents out, too? Or will they still be ok in there while they grow? They are in a 75g.
They will usually not harm the fry
This is an old post, but I hope you see this. I have a mated pair dempseys. Everything I remove the babies which is around 4 to 6 weeks, they mate again and I'm getting flooded with too many babies, my LFS can't even keep up. Any ideas on how to slow them down from breeding? I'm on my 5th batch right now that just hatched today.
Only real way is to separate the pair. Once they get going they don’t stop 😬
Does it matter how you introduce the pair? For example, if a female is already in the tank, can you just add the male or vice versa?
Yep you should be fine with that
@CichlidBros thanks so much! I watch your channel and it is super freaking helpful! Thanks so much for responding!
Cheers for all the tips mate you know ya stuff I just recently got a pair of Jack Dempseys and was worried about my female as the male was chasing her for a while mouth wide open not hurting her but she kept swimming off he'll fast now she hiding in a spot by herself you think she is having babies or sussing out a spot?
Thank you! She may just be getting away from the male for a bit. I'd just keep an eye on her over the next few days
@@CichlidBros I ended up separating her put her in another tank gonna see how she goes when I put her back in the big tank tomorrow I'll keep an eye on her
hi ya if I put a male with a female will they pair off
Most likely will over time
@@CichlidBros thank you but won't the male chase the female lots
Could you pull off one jack dempsey in 29?
When they’re young, but as adults, I would recommend at least a 40 breeder
@@CichlidBros thanks for the help it is nice to have an experienced persons opinion.
I just1 is doing ok
I just got a juvenile Jack Demsey (about 1.5") and he/she has a black and gold color with just a tiny amount of blue speckles on the cheeks.
My question is, would it eventually grow up covered in blue specs the way 99% of Jack Demsey look on RUclips or is my fish going to remain gold and black forever?
Thanks!
Do you sell mating pairs of cichlids?
Not currently, sorry
@@CichlidBros what varieties of oscars do you have?
