Description
The Electric Blue Jack Dempsey Cichlid is a stunning variation of the classic Jack Dempsey Cichlid, characterized by its vibrant electric blue coloration. In addition to the striking blue and metallic iridescent scales, Electric Blue Jack Dempseys often have darker, almost black markings along the fins and around the eyes, creating a dramatic contrast that enhances their unique appearance. Growing up to 10 inches, it's a visually impressive and charismatic addition to any cichlid setup. Known for its territorial nature, the Jack Dempsey thrives in tanks of at least 70 gallons with ample rocks, caves, and hiding spots to establish territory. While they can coexist with other sturdy tankmates, careful planning is key to maintaining harmony. These cichlids enjoy a varied diet of high-quality pellets, frozen foods, and occasional live treats. Hardy and full of personality, the Jack Dempsey remains a favorite for aquarists seeking a colorful, active, and commanding centerpiece fish.
