I've never seen one bigger than 9" - link to photos/videos to bigger ones please, anybody? For you young'ins, Jack Dempsey was Heavyweight Boxing Champion for 7 years - 1919-1926 and one of the hardest punchers in boxing history. This and the Jaguar cichlid are probably the only big bruisers I've ever wanted to keep... someday maybe. Nice video about one of the all time great looking fish!
DWSDARIUS FISH TANKS I didn’t take a photo so I get if you don’t believe me but I seen a 11 inch 10 year jack Dempsey at a fish store going for 65 dollars. It died a few months later though and no one bought it. Really old fish!
I had a male and he would kill and or eat anything you put in the tank except a goldfish for some reason. This was before the internet and I didnt know much but lost lots of money trying to add other fish to the tank.
Thats cool you keep em with peacock bass, i recently caught a wild baby largemouth bass and tossed em with the Jack. Works so well they never bother each other.
I appreciate your content, G. I've been away from the hobby for way too long! I'm going new world instead of African for my cichlid tanks this time around, it's been about 15 years since I've had a tank and I'm excited to introduce my two daughters to the fish keeping lifestyle 😂🎉 seriously though, a lot of hobbiests have neurodivergencies like ADHD or are even on the autism spectrum, and we can really get into it! Whole house be overrun with tanks 😂🎉
I’ve had jacks when I was younger. Was always my favorite. Just started a new aquarium with a 1 1/2” jack. It’s now a fat 4”+ and I moved it to a new tank with a convict and Oscar. Though he is bigger and chases a little...so far so good.
Love the way your content is extremely factual! This is definitely a priceless channel, most of the aquarium channel content is focused on entertainment. I’m not saying the entertainment model is bad just saying It just emphasises how important this channel and similar ones are for hobbiests like myself ! Thanks for the great content and keep grinding 👊🏻
I had a male Jack Dempsey that was 10" back in the '80's. He was half of a breeding pair I had in a 50G aquarium. Female was about 7". They bred maybe 12-15 times over about 6 years and then one night he just killed the female! I found her dead, completely brutally disfigured. He really brutally murdered his "wife" aka my pet fish. What do ya do when the fish cops are all busy solving other fish crimes? This was a true story!
Damn @@dwsdarius I just have a JD juvie right now, within the next month I should be able to get gender, But it's looking male with very little blue coloration around the mouth and chin area
I currently have my Dempsey with 3 Red Devils, I know that’s risky but it works, the Dempsey is still king, the 3 Devils have been raised together with the Dempsey already over a year old. It’s weird, but it wrks for now.
Cool, mine is with a Red Devil almost twice the size...from my experience red devils aren't as bad as people say, then again each fish has a individual personality
Thank you for the reply , I thought of putting the little one in there , but she's actually coming around now , and trying to eat , also yesterday when i got up in the morning she was even back to her old self, and dancing up and down at the front of the glass , and as soon as little guy (male ) gets big enough not to become breakfast to easy I'll will introduce him into the 100 gl.tank. I have two common Plecos in my 55,and i thought of putting one in the 100 , but if the Jack Dempsey's spawn will the Pleco eat their eggs ? Thanks , for the rockin video's!
It depends on the size of the pleco...if the pleco is 6" or smaller I think the Jack Dempsey parents can successful protect the eggs from the pleco...however larger than that then they may have trouble defending the eggs at night...and yes a larger pleco will be willing to eat the eggs
Yes they do. Are yours skittish? Normally when you have more than one the most dominate should be showing colors the most, even at smaller sizes like 3 inches. If all of them are brown and they are the only fish in the tank first see if they are too afraid of you which is a common cause they will be solved by itself in time. A least common possibility is diet, what are you feeding them
@@dwsdarius mine aren't even a little skittish. There in with 2 small Oscars and a convict.. they all get along great as of now. I feed 2 times a day. First a pellet, nls, north fin, ikari. Evening I give them frozen brine shrimp, frozen blood worms, and sometimes thawed shrimp.
I have my first successful breading pair. The pair along with the fry are housed in a 75 gal. Tank All to themselves. Is it necessary to separate them ?
I've kept mine with plants before with no problems, but I imagine when they ready to breed they will destroy any plants in their nest location. I currently keep mine with a bichir with no problems, I never kept rope fish but if they are anything like bichir than there shouldn't be a problem
Been watching for a couple months now and love the vids bro!!!! Nice looking Dempseys but I have an 11 inch male with amazing colors and I wish you can see lol
You mentioned Red Devils twice as possible tank mates I’d like to introduce my red devil (2”)to my jack dempseys (2-3”)tank, is it best to try as juveniles or more when they’re grown out ? My red devil is currently by herself waiting to be out of quarantine into their tank.
I bred a pair of jack dempseys back in 2010 ( this was my first fish bred in the hobby and 1st cichlid) sadly they got sold because the polini had been attacked by em
Hi , New Jack Dempsey keeper (3 mths.) I believe i have a female , and just another little one , which she tried to go after within seconds of release , so i put her in a 100gl Tank i bought just for them , and she's hardly eating , been a week now , and little one is eating out of my fingers , always right there ready to take food , any tips ? Thank you , I liked your video , and subscribed.
Hello, is the female the only fish in the 100 gallon tank? If so you may be to afraid to come out because she's the only fish. You have two options if that's the case: you could put other fish in the tank to encourage more activity from her (dither fish that don't hide and are active, ex. giant danio, silver dollars) or you could put her back in the tank with the other and watch. Most likely she just wants to assure her dominance over the other which should result in chasing for the first few days...but should die down once the smaller one knows that she's boss.
My Juvenile JD looks exactly like your juvenile. Mostly gold and black. My question is, is it going to stay that way or is is going to be covered in blue specs as an adult?
I have a Jack Dempsey in my 75gallon and I can't have any other fish with him. I had three blue gouramis it worked out for a while, when he decided they had to go it happened in a day or 2
Hey darius, this isnt your safe area but I have a question. Could this go in a 850 gallon (120X40X40inch)? 1 green tail arowana 1 red chilli arowana 1 gold crossback arowana 4 black diamond stingrays (High filtration and drip system of 840 gallon a week (5 an hour))
Awesome stock, but if your in the USA those Arowana are illegal, only the silver, black, Jardini and African arowana are legal. But if your not in the US, this arowana may fight at times, but its possibly considering how Joey King of DIY has it
Hi buddy your pretty hot on the reply so id say your my best oprion for aquarium fish questions. So please would these jack dempsys be okay with birchirs
I have a endlicheri and a senegal bichir living with my female JD and a few other cichlids, no problems as long as the bichir isn't small enough to be swallowed. Mine are 6 inches long and about 3/4 inches thick, my largest cichlid in the tank is 7 inches
DWSDARIUS FISH TANKS my senegal is approx 8inch and ornate is approx 7inch so shouldnt have a problem getting eaten heheh i will say tho my sengal is super aggresive. compared to my ornate .And senegal has a much bigger appetite strange but fascinating.
Mine too, bought my two at the same time and the Senegal is growing faster, almost 7in now, weird considering that the endlicheri gets bigger as an adult. Also I saw my Senegal bite my endlicheri while he was looking for food...crazy fish!
DWSDARIUS FISH TANKS ive seen the same mine was snooping for some dinner and had a snap at the ornate like a tester bite or a territorial bite very strange. Beautifull fish
I had two male JD's a few years ago. They both hid all day long, and at night they'd come out. I tried introducing more fish (mollies and such), but the JDs teamed up and killed any newbies. Only the algae eater was tolerated by them. I wouldn't recommend getting them unless you already have some fish. They can hide a lot and don't play nice.
Tank design has a lot to do with how active they are...and yes they are known for their aggression so its recommended to only keep them with similar aggressive fish
@@dwsdarius Yeah, I actually spent a lot of time after cleanings to re-arrange the plants and hiding spots. It was a 55 gallon tank for just them two, and with at least 5 different hiding places, they two always picked the same spots no matter where I put them. I'd definitely be willing to try having jack dempseys again, but I think because there weren't any active fish swimming around, the JD's were timid and afraid of being out by themselves.
As usual, GREAT VIDEO !! Does anyone have experience with electric blue Jack Dempseys ?? Are they as healthy ? I assume Electrics are hybrids. If so, can theybe effectively bred ? And if so, what are the offspring like ? Again, great and informative video.
Thank you, the electric blue jack Dempsey is a fish I've tried to keep several times but to no success because they are very fragile. They are genetically breed to show that brighter blue, so its not a cross between two species but rather selective breeding that produce this fish and when they breed, the fry come out electric blue as well.
Yes, fish that are not too small to be eaten like silver dollars can work. Also other similar sized cichlids like convict cichlids, salvini cichlid, jewel cichlid, texas cichlid, green terror...
i have a pretty big jack dempsey as the only fish in my tank. I had a female in there at one point, but he bullied her way too much for my taste. I then got a blood parrot that was way bigger than the dempsey but he still bullied the blood parrot to the point of death... real sad. The dempsey is without a doubt the meanest fish i've ever had.
I had these beautiful fish. 4 in a large tank and were destroyed by a much smaller Texas cichlid. Over night I had no chance to remove them.. I felt really bad because I live there blue color. Now I have 5 or 6 inch jack Dempsey adopted cichlid but so scared he won’t come out!!! I call him shy
had some when i was 5 my first ever fish they bred dad sold em cause they beat the crap out of his madagascar polineye cihclid ( idk how to spell it so dont destroy me on it) been breeding texas cichlids since that wanted to go back to em but my dad says no, been running without help a 50 gal a 75 gal an a 29 gal
I love my 2 Dempsey's both males . They used to fight alot when they was younger but not so much anymore with eachother thay have killed other fish that was in the tank
I had a shovel nose/ red tail hybrid they grew fast and ate a few tank mates...since then I'm not a fan of monster catfish! But maybe a tigrinus shovel nose one day!
I have 2, ones 5in other is 7. Think both males on color. The bigger is almost scared of people after 8 months but in last few weeks has killed 2 fish.. both smaller red devil's and the other Jack is up in corner of tank hiding. Cool looking fish but not worth keeping over shady personality. I'll keep a single fish aquarium but not for a timid asshole over all
Thanx for the reply. I've always wondered about that. Congratulations on your expansion.You really are dedicated and add so much to the hobby.
One of the best aquarium channels on RUclips. I love your videos!
Thank you!
Beautiful fish, good advice, nice channel.

Glad you enjoyed it
Cool fish indeed !

Thank you!
Awsome cichlids you got there mate i love your fish snd advice. ✌
I must say aswell awsome music and effects
Thank You!
I love watching mine years ago, they truely are gorgeous !
👍☑
Yes they are! Thanks for watching!
Beautiful video D” love your fish my friend
Thank You!
Always wanted to keep a Jack Dempsey :) yours are gorgeous!
Thank you, hopefully my juvi is a female then I can get a pair and they will look even better!
I have pair for sald
I had a Jack Dempsey that grew to about 9 inches. I kept it in a 125 with a managuense and luckily they got along.
Nice, yeah apparently that's a good combo, a few people told me that they had those two mixed
Excellent video
Thank you!
Sick instrumental bro im subscribing
Another great video !☺️👍
Thank you
Nice vid! Would it also apply not to mix a regular jack with an electric blue jack?
Thanks, because they look very different you may be able to keep electric blue jacks with regular jacks in a big enough tank...125g or greater
I just got my first jack, he or she is still a juvenile.
I agree Jack's are over looked and I don't know why it is my favorite common NEW WORLD CICHLID. STAY FUNKY PLAY-BOY
Thanks, yeah they definitely disserve a lot of attention!

Love the JD's...named after the badass boxer in the 20's
Yeah I heard he was a champ
@@dwsdarius Nah homie, a King
Jack Dempseys are all so very smart
Yes they are

I think I had two of these when I was a kid.
The male got pink colour on his throat when they were spawning and caring for the eggs/babys
Yes when they breed they change colors a bit, I'm going to pair my male and female together so mine may change to that color
Im so sad that I had to give the away. But the tank cracked and I hadnt the money to buy a new one at that time :(
What is that white fish with the black arrow stripe over its eye, pointed nose? Thing looks pretty cool.
Silver Datnoid
Hay mate. Top video. I love yours it is more mature then mine. It’s a wonderful Fish you got there mate. ✌️

Can you keep them with plants? Do you think bichir and rope fish would be ok for tank mates?

Its best to let them meet as juveniles. They will develop a hierarchy and its best to figure out who's boss while they are young

I was privelaged to have raised a pair of breeder Dempseys who themselves bred and NEVER got larger than 8 to 10” in size.
Whats the other stripey fish in there? Not the pbass the tan & black
Gold datnoid
Hes awesome, I want one in my tank. And the JD of course 😎
My Juvenile JD looks exactly like your juvenile. Mostly gold and black.
My question is, is it going to stay that way or is is going to be covered in blue specs as an adult?
It will stay like that, the blue speckled is a different gene that would be evident from young.
@@dwsdarius I appreciate the reply man. Thank u!!!
I keep mine with a pleco and they never seem to mind eachother. Do you think he/she would be okay with a red tail shark ?
They shouldn't fight, these fish are mainly aggressive towards other cichlids...the only concern would be if the red tail is small enough to be eaten?
I Love Jack Dempseys
Thanks, they are awesome
I have a Jack Dempsey in my 75gallon and I can't have any other fish with him. I had three blue gouramis it worked out for a while, when he decided they had to go it happened in a day or 2
Hey darius, this isnt your safe area but I have a question.
Could this go in a 850 gallon (120X40X40inch)?
1 green tail arowana
1 red chilli arowana
1 gold crossback arowana
4 black diamond stingrays
(High filtration and drip system of 840 gallon a week (5 an hour))
Awesome stock, but if your in the USA those Arowana are illegal, only the silver, black, Jardini and African arowana are legal. But if your not in the US, this arowana may fight at times, but its possibly considering how Joey King of DIY has it
Ok, I live in the UK
Didn't know they had teeth! Cool.
I need to get a better lens for some close ups, I'm finding teeth in a lot of fish that I didn't expect
I keep cichlids too. Have a flowerhorn 2 convicts and 2.chipokes in separate tank. There great I'm. Deviststrd
Dude you have some of the most amazing fish tanks. What size is this one and how many do you have in there??
Thank you, this tank is a 210 gallon and right now there are 10 fish in it
Is a 90 gallon enought for 2 jack demseys
Yes it is

What’s the white striped fish at 2:45?
Gold datnoid
CAn I put different cichlids with jack Dempsey?i just finally setup my 75gallon so I trying get this fishes small has jack Dempsey
Yes, fish that are not too small to be eaten like silver dollars can work. Also other similar sized cichlids like convict cichlids, salvini cichlid, jewel cichlid, texas cichlid, green terror...
convicts and jewels are good choices
i have a pretty big jack dempsey as the only fish in my tank. I had a female in there at one point, but he bullied her way too much for my taste. I then got a blood parrot that was way bigger than the dempsey but he still bullied the blood parrot to the point of death... real sad. The dempsey is without a doubt the meanest fish i've ever had.
What is the best temperature to keep them at?
76-78°F is best
@@dwsdarius thanks
I had these beautiful fish. 4 in a large tank and were destroyed by a much smaller Texas cichlid. Over night I had no chance to remove them.. I felt really bad because I live there blue color. Now I have 5 or 6 inch jack Dempsey adopted cichlid but so scared he won’t come out!!! I call him shy
My male and female are paired together now, they definitely are awesome fish...my male is pretty shy
Bro do you still have the datnoid!
Yes, same size lol...slowest growing fish ever
DWSDARIUS FISH TANKS coming from you that’s saying something!
I have a 12 incher
Really!
Fam I just got a pair of jack dempsey cichlids and they are so sexy looking, very slept on cichlids .
Gotta love the JD's!
Nice video bro... i love my jds🐟⭕🔵⚫
Thank you, they are awesome fish!
had some when i was 5 my first ever fish they bred dad sold em cause they beat the crap out of his madagascar polineye cihclid ( idk how to spell it so dont destroy me on it) been breeding texas cichlids since that wanted to go back to em but my dad says no, been running without help a 50 gal a 75 gal an a 29 gal
I have a 3 inch Oscar, do you think a jack Dempsey would be fine with him?
It depends on the size of the jack dempsey, as long as its not too small to be eaten, it should work
I love my 2 Dempsey's both males . They used to fight alot when they was younger but not so much anymore with eachother thay have killed other fish that was in the tank
Hi
Hey
I have a breeding pair of Jack Dempsey’s
Nice...I imagine their color is amazing!
I've seen 13 inch jack Dempsey
Have you really!
Yes
He had a hump because of how big he was
I had a 12 inch male that was mean as heck. If someone sit near the tank he would bang into the glass.
You need a shovelnose catfish
I had a shovel nose/ red tail hybrid they grew fast and ate a few tank mates...since then I'm not a fan of monster catfish! But maybe a tigrinus shovel nose one day!
DWSDARIUS FISH TANKS what size tank you have him in just wondering because I'm planning on upgrading soon
My old shovenose? I had him in my 210g...here's a old video:

Cool looking fish but not worth keeping over shady personality. I'll keep a single fish aquarium but not for a timid asshole over all
I have 11 jacks in 1 tank send help. Don’t have the heart to kill any but they breed like fuckin rabbits
100th like!
Thank you!
