Benny Posted February 3, 2004 Report Share Posted February 3, 2004 I got what I think is a smallish (about 4") male last weeked. I sort of read stuff about them beingreally aggressive without actually believing it. It's true though, even at a small size he seems to be fearless against the much larger fish. My siamese tiger is still definitely the boss of the tank though. Does anyone else have experience keeping the jack dempsey? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Midas Posted February 3, 2004 Report Share Posted February 3, 2004 Good to see you here again Benny, its been a while. My 5" JD doesn't seem to be really all that agressive when compared to some of my other central american cichlids like my Jag and my Midas. Even some of my big convict males (~4-5") worry him. When both my JD and my Jag were smaller (both about 3") my JD used to chase the Jag. However the Jag is much bigger than him now and the roles are reversed. How do you tell that you have a male? I still can't tell for sure whether mine is M of F, male I think. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Benny Posted February 4, 2004 Author Report Share Posted February 4, 2004 Hi midas, hopefully I'll start posting again, I haven't had the net for a good part of a year. It's damn hard to sex at a small size, I looked for pointed dorsal and anal fins. I mean, I could be totally wrong and it turns out to be a female. Have you got any pics of your JD, midas? It's a beautiful fish. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
