Hey all.

I was thinking about putting two jack demspeys in my 65 gallon..Alone.

But the more i read around, everyone says that thats not enough space for two, even though ive seen videos were their housed peacefully.

I was wondering if anyone could make any other suggestions of other cichlids i could place in here.

Im looking for medium sized fish, or let me know if jack dempseys could survice.

thanks all

That is only 3 feet. If you had two males they may be ok while small..but not sure you would want that later on. Maybe someone who kept them more would ahve more insight.

I have also only kept mine in a 6 foot tank.

My brother in law kept one in a 75 gallon and he was fine in there with convicts and firemouthes.
