I'm currently in the process of setting up a tank so keep americans ( jack dempsey) I have two large bits of drift wood in which I want to attach plant's to but my knowledge on plants is 0 , can anyone please recommend some basic plants I can keep without the need of a co2 controller either that will attach to the wood or in the gravel.Any other basic info/ tips on jack dempseys wouls also be appreciated Cheers , Mitch Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mitch86 Posted July 3, 2013 Report Share Posted July 3, 2013 They like slate rock, lots and lots of rocks and caves. Dark substrate brings out their colours and your better off just having a pair . The dominant male will kill the sub if their is a female with them. Anubias grown on driftwood and rock is best. Their too rough for a planted tank. I have a breeding pair of JDs and a grow out tank with their fry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mitch86 Posted July 6, 2013 Report Share Posted July 6, 2013 (edited) You will have heaps to choose from in brissy and if you get split gene ones from different lines you might get some nice EBJD fry going. That would make it much more interesting and EBJD are worth a bit of coin to. If your not sure on how Electric Blue fry are bread just do a bit of research on the net. It is truly a very interesting read. Edited July 6, 2013 by Mitch86 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
