You can also boil an egg and get the yoke very hard, then grind that up very small but don't feed too much. Egg yoke fouls quickly so take any big chunks out that haven't been eaten. Good luck Eddie.

My JD's had babies when I wasn't looking! :) there seems to be about 200 fry swimming around in one corner now and I am a little overwhelmed about the idea of all of them growing up in this 55 gallon tank. I have a 120 gallon tank stored in the garage if I need to move them. Should I? How many fry should be spawned and how many usually live from a spawning?

If at all possible, remove the eggs before they hatch and place in another small aquarium or large container. A 5 gallon aquarium in best when they first hatch. Move the pair of Jack Dempseys also.. or at least the female with the eggs. Use the same aquarium water to fill the new container. This is the safest and most convenient way to do this.

Several factors come into play regarding your question. They will grow quite rapidly if you feed them a high protein diet with lots of variety. Aquarium size is also a factor as it is with all tank raised fish. The more space you offer them, the better it is for their health and growth. Regarding their aggressiveness, as with all predatory fish, SIZE MATTERS. If the other tankmates are about equal in size, the JDs are unlikely to bother them much. Jack Dempsey cichlids are very territorial as are most cichlids. If your tank is too small for all your inhabitants, you'll see plenty of aggression from your JDs, regardless of the size of the other fish. Good luck Warren and drop me a line if there is anything else I can help you with. Jack Lamountain / The World Of Jack Dempsey Cichlids Hi Warren.

At work we had 2 Jack Dempsey fishes. They reproduced which we think is fab, but the day the eggs hatched, the male died. As we're not open weekends, we removed the mother from the tank as we wasn't sure wether or not she would feed off of her babies. We kept her in her own water, but sadly she died too over the weekend. I would just like to know if u could help me in caring for the young, giving me tips on how to encourage their survial Hello, just a quick question.
