Dachende Posted October 7, 2012 Report Share Posted October 7, 2012 Hi all , Rescued a fish from a friends house today where it was being picked on quite badly by all his other cichlids. He didn't know what type of fish this is, but he doesn't know what many of them are. Any help would be appreciated ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dachende Posted October 7, 2012 Author Report Share Posted October 7, 2012 I sold some kribs on the weekend from that tank and I don't think he'd go so well in my community tank with tetras, harlequins and the like heh - I guess it's the lesser of two evils. So he's king of his own little castle in for the time being til I can setup a new tank for him From what I saw when I was there, it was another fish the same as this but ever so slightly bigger that was doing all the bullying. Think I'll get away with him in a planted tank for the next few days til I can get a tank sorted ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jaxxnz Posted October 7, 2012 Report Share Posted October 7, 2012 It's a Electric jack Dempsey, congrats it's a pricey fish aprox $60-80 retail price tag! :nilly: I love these guy, abit hard to look after if water condition is not mint!! As for normal Jack Dempsey they are real hardy!! Not suited for small neon or fighter fish, great save Dachende :thup: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dachende Posted October 7, 2012 Author Report Share Posted October 7, 2012 It's a really beautiful fish , bit sad his fins are all torn to hell from his issues with bad flatmates in his previous home. I'll do what I can to bring him back to health and look at setting up a happy home for him. http://jackdempseycichlid.com/ Great link - lots of reading to do - Thanks !
