@romeo9229 It helpd for about a week - then started to get worse - I then put the fish into a 10 gallon tank and medicated it with Primafix - Primafix is an anti fungal and worked perfectly - happy to say he is alive and well

hi i have a medium sized jack Dempsey hes almost a year old i was wondering what type of cichlid i could put with him?

[MrKilltheheart]

i like your jd it looks alot like my big one i also have one more smaller one and i have that yellow african. i know i shouldnt mix africans and americans in the same tank but i did it because i want them to fight with eachother. I have two jack dempseys 1 yellow african 2 black convicts 1 blue cobalt zebra and i am getting a red terror and a green terror tomorrow. My tank is like 100 gal

Awesome fish and tank

Ive gotten really interested in firemouths and was wondering if i could get a one for my 20 gallon tall if it was the only fish in the tank

Black substrate, good lighting but no live plants just fake and i was thinking of making some rock caves

Possible?

@pleco11771

That would be possible depending on the size of the Fish when you get it. From your lfs you can usually get them at about one half to an inch which would fit easily in a 20 Gallon. Just make sure to cycle your tank before you get the fish. I would also suggest getting 3 fire mouths from different fish stores and at the same age and if you get luckey enough maby they will bread when they mature.

Generally as a rule you can put one inch of fish per Gallon in your tank. For a twenty gallon that means 20 inches of fish. That doesn't mean that you can go and get 20 one inch fish because as soon as they start growing there will be insufficient room. Three Fire mouths should fit in a twenty gallon for a year or more.
