    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 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.

    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!

    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.

    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!

      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

    Hey brother, question, I have four in a 55 about 3 inches. They all have a lot of brown color. Do they get more blue as they get bigger?

    • @dwsdarius
      @dwsdarius  3 года назад

      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

    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!

    • @dwsdarius
      @dwsdarius  5 лет назад +1

      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

    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.

    • @dwsdarius
      @dwsdarius  5 лет назад +1

      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.

    1 green tail arowana
    1 red chilli arowana

      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

      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.

    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

    I have a 3 inch Oscar, do you think a jack Dempsey would be fine with him?

    • @dwsdarius
      @dwsdarius  3 года назад

      It depends on the size of the jack dempsey, as long as its not too small to be eaten, it should work

    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.

    • @dwsdarius

      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

    • @happsider
      @happsider 6 лет назад +1

      @@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.

    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 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
