The Jack Dempsey Cichlid is a striking freshwater fish, admired for its bold coloration featuring dark tones with shimmering blue, green, and gold speckles. Growing up to 10 inches, it's a visually impressive and charismatic addition to any cichlid setup. Known for its territorial nature, the Jack Dempsey thrives in tanks of at least 70 gallons with ample rocks, caves, and hiding spots to establish territory. While they can coexist with other sturdy tankmates, careful planning is key to maintaining harmony. These cichlids enjoy a varied diet of high-quality pellets, frozen foods, and occasional live treats. Hardy and full of personality, the Jack Dempsey remains a favorite for aquarists seeking a colorful, active, and commanding centerpiece fish.
