If your JD's eggs turn white, they are NOT ferilized. The male probably fertilized most if not all of them. Just watch and enjoy. Hi Candi…
If your JD’s eggs turn white, they are NOT ferilized. The male probably fertilized most if not all of them. Just watch and enjoy.

It is pretty aggressive toward other fish but doesnt actually bite or eat them, he/she just chases them around.. And he/she has red around fins if that helps Hey, I would like to breed Jd’s and i have one but im not sure if it is male or female… It is pretty aggressive toward other fish but doesnt actually bite or eat them, he/she just chases them around..

Most egg layers lose a large percentage of fry soon after birth. It's the natural course of things. Male JDs don't usually eat their young unless they are in an aquarium that has other fish in it that will eventually eat most all of the fry. The male senses the inevitable and thus eats his own.

But each day there seems to be less and less. Is the male possibly eating them? Please let me know asap so I can save as many as possible. We had lot’s of fry.

One day they are there and the next few days, boom, they are gone. The parents are the only ones in the tank as we separated the other fish immediately when we saw the eggs. They hatched and were about 3 to 4 weeks old and they just started disappearing. And now they are all gone. What could we have done or could do next time?

Young Jack Dempseys can breed at 4-5 months old providing they are in good health and grown out normally. You didn't mention their age or if there are other fish in the aquarium. I would imagine that the other siblings and parents will soon begin feeding on the fry. If the eggs are attached to something that you can move to another container, do so now. They usually hatch in about 72 hours. Good luck Jack Lamountain / The World of Jack Dempsey Cichlids Hi Avis….
