Yea I will if I can get a pic and the one I think is a male is defiantly way more impressive. he seems to be the dominate one also. Thanks for your advise man mucho appreciated ;)

I currently have a Jack Dempsey that is about 6 inches and it is a male. YES you do

need a Big tank. The advice that other have said is very sound as in bigger tank size.

These fish do grow big pretty quiet when they are small till around 6 inches. Around

4-6 inches, you can tell more easily which sex they are and their behavior as in pairing

and looks.

You can easily learn about them by the top Google searches of them.

The pic Avatar is the one I have. It survived during the outage during hurricane Irene of 1 week

in a 55 gallon Long. I had no power or water. The large tanks does help since there is not filtration at all.

Avatar is a good name for that fish! He looks just like one!! Wow that's a string fish to have went threw that. Google has been helpful information wise. So has this site. u am wanting to get another tank bigger than the one I already have but um bot sure if u want to to with cichlids again considering they get so big and u want mire than just a couple but they are so pretty. as pretty as they get with out going salt water I think. but u guess only time will tell
Dies your tank still have no filter?

Im using a Fluval 205 Canister filter. The name of my JD is actually

Pen-pen. I mean avatar pic of my fish instead of the movie. lol

 

There are other colorful fish that are fresh water that are peaceful. Just have to go look around. It is so worth it to have a big tank during power outage situations my tank

was in a need of a water change. Being too depending on a filter system is pretty

borderline  than the amout of water your tank you have.

 

Well good luck
