Jack Dempsey Fish with Other Fish?

Jack Dempsey fish tank mates talk. The jack Dempsey Cichlid fish isn’t as aggressive as everyone thinks it is. Aquarium Dempsey fish tank care is pretty easy when compared to a lot of less sturdy fish. People always ask me questions on what tank mates work best. I have previous videos on that as well.

Some more talk on fish tanks:
I don’t know if this is aloud but I need a little bit of help, a couple of weeks ago I noticed my fish had a little mark under its gills and one fin was missing not it was swimming fine and eating so I left it and kept an eye on it and then it’s top lip started to go funny and then I came to feed them tonight and it looks like this it’s swimming and eating fine could any one tell me what might be wrong?

I’d say a severe infection in the mouth. Possibly mouth rot, I had a betta that did this but unfortunately nothing I tried could fix it. Hope you have more success than I did.

I’ve had this little guy for about 6 months now and I’m getting worried about his black scales and curly fins. He has been getting more black scales as he has been growing. His fins have also been getting more wavy as he’s been growing. I’ve heard of fin rot and I’m worried that might be it.

So, I am about to try something possibly stupid. I saw an ad on kijiji about a betta being rehomed. He currently lives in a Mason jar.
So I said I’d pick him up tomorrow.

I have a 30 gallon (24″ tall), planted, with five female guppies and a few fry which he would be welcome to snack on, imo.
In theory, that should be ok, right?
I do have a spare 5 and 10g if I need to separate him…. There’s wood and plenty of vegetation (jungle val, java fern and moss) – will I still need a betta leaf hammock?
Filter outlet is diverted, so no huge currents. Or, rather, plenty of spaces with low current. Any pitfalls I need to look out for?

Other Video –

I have blood worms, bug bites and shrimp pellets, will he need any betta specific food?

It’s certainly possible to try him in that tank. I would recommend setting up the 5g now with some of the filter media from the 30g for him to acclimatise in for a week or two first though. That way you also know he won’t pass on anything like ich to your established tank.

Hi there, after some advice please. Was thinking of getting a few small fish (guppies) for a little tank. What Id like to know before rushing in is if it has a small filter etc what is the upkeep exactly? Cleaning requirements etc. Thanks everyone.

Yes, you will need a filter. You’ll also want a heater and an air stone and pump.

The smallest you could reasonably go is a ten gallon. You would want to cycle it first (Google “aquarium nitrogen cycle” and come back with any questions you might have), and generally maintenance looks like a 20% water change once a week, which takes maybe twenty minutes.

Water change process looks like siphoning out the water, using an aquarium safe sponge to clean the glass, gently swishing any dirty filter media in your removed bucket of tank water, and then matching new clean water temperature to the tank temperature and dosing this new water with a dechlorinator (the company seachem makes a product called Prime which is excellent).

Guppies aren’t exactly “small tank fish”. In any case, especially if you are putting them into a relatively small tank. Get males only. Don’t accept freebie females. Or you’ll have freebie fry to give away in no time. (Just woke up to 40 baby fish this morning). I had the silly idea of a Females only tank, but, they can have several pregnancies still even if they haven’t seen a male in months…
