Top 5 Tank Mates for Jack Dempsey Fish

Aquarium Jack Dempsey fish tank mates. These are my top 5 favorite fish to keep with Jack Dempsey Cichlid fish. You need to remember that these are all still aquarium cichlids and can be aggressive. Breeding is the biggest threat when keeping Jack Dempsey fish with other fish.

I had a jack dempsey back in middle school for about 4 years and he got pretty big. Haven’t had time for an aquarium since, but I really hope i can find some more of these fish for a new tank. I’m in Alaska so you’re kind of limited to what you can find locally online or at pet shops :/

I put two guppies in my jack dempseys tank about 6 months ago and to this day they are still swimming around and happy

My 125 gal has a full grown male JD, pair of convicts, pair of green terrors, 5 rohani barbs, 3 clouded archers, group of super red BN plecos, a rhino pleco, Royal pleco and L204a pleco. This tank is amazing and has very little aggression at all!

Jack Dempsey is very nice fish! Blue Dempsey is even more beautiful!

Agree, I have mixed firehouse with my jack Dempsey for years. The firehouse can hold their own. For all I know they ight be enjoying the tiffs with the dempseys.

I like the way those fish at 8:30 are just staring at you.

Nice my Jack Dempsey has those exact colors definitely one of my favorites I own at the moment

I keep my female in a 55 gallon high tech planted aqaurium with discus and rubberlip plecos. Anything is possible by getting them as juvies and raising them in what environment they are going to be living in.

Oscar for the best tank mate. You couldn't separate my Oscar from my Dempsy without passing one off. They eat, sleep, and swim together.

Everyone keeps telling me Jack Dempsey and green terror fish don't go with firemouth well. I'm glad I found someone that says otherwise

Great video man! Jack Dempseys are some of my favorite, if you couldnt tell by my god given name. 😂

Nice. I’ve got a tank with a Jaguar, Blue Acara, Firemouth, Red Devil, and a Pike. Been thinking about adding. Green Terror or Jack D. Looks like that might be doable.

I’m still building cosmetically but I have two Oscars with same size Jack small attitudes but they get along 7 months in tank together.

I have a 55 gallon right now with a Jack Dempsey. The Jack Dempsey is around 5 to 6 inches. I tried putting a full grown convict in with him and he annihilated him. I'm thinking of salvini would be the best choice something that doesn't get super big and stays at a decent size preferably the same as the jack Dempsey

My 5 inch Jack Dempsey Cichlids is with 2 sever and 3 parrotfish as well as a small jaguar cichlid.

[watzhatnnin]

I have a male and female JD with a red spotted severum, pleco, clown loaches, black convict, and green terror.
