what do you feed your jack dempsey because mines is growing slow and he eats alot

[zachbeck2022]

@guccimane2020 haraki cichlid pellets they make specially formulated ones for growth i think it's a green bag or white back don't get the sinkers they make a mess of the tank get floating brand but ya try that and mix in some krill or shrimp and throw in some minnows every once in a while thats what i feed all my fish even the guppies and mollies eat that and they all love it even the plecos eat it and they are suppose to eat just algae

I have another question I'd I wear to get just the catfish the barbs and snails what would the ph level have to be

[zachbeck2022]

@airsoftpro251 pH range: 6.0 – 8.0 catfish are use to just about any ph some even swim down rivers into brackish water to be honest if u wanna see ur catfish super happy make sure theres alot and i mean alot of water movement they love love love current it's the reason i have so much filteration on my tank as well as a 48 inch bubbler in the tank is that they love the water movement the barbs will grow to 3 inchs each but the ph i gave u is the optimum ph for them good luck

Thanks so much

@airsoftpro251 u need anymore help let me know man i'm a fountain of information with this stuff now and so is bassintheweeds he knows a good amount about stuff as well and theres one other guy that helped me out back when i was coming up with my tanks but idk if he stopped following my videos or not

[airsoftpro251]

Thank you So so so so so much

[zachbeck2022]

@Bassintheweeds lmao i started a trend of fish update videos it seems 2 man lol i never saw how many ppl started up their own update videos on their tanks till about 2 weeks ago everyone and there mom started doing them now

[zachbeck2022]

@airsoftpro251 it'll save u money in the long run cause jd's can get about 8 inchs and 2 of them swimming in a tank together that small can cause some major fights specially if they aren't a breeding pair

[zachbeck2022]

@airsoftpro251 ok the catfish alone would stock the tank tiger barbs are fin nippers so them and jd's wont get along and when ur jd's get bigger they are gonna beat the hell out of the tiger barbs the snails will be fine though honestly if u have the money get a 55 gallon 30's are cool and all but a 55 is way more forgiving and they give ur fish more room to grow i started with a 10 moved to a 30 and now have a 55 and am soon getting a 120 gallon for christmas just go big first
