Hi and welcome to the forum.

How do you find your Jack Dempsey and Oscar get on together?

Hi Sheila and welcome. I am curious about your 55. Are you having any luck with that combination of fish? I also have some rainbows in with a few platies but they don't seem to be interested in breeding so I was hoping you might have some tips on it. I am generally not a cichlid person but these ones intrigued me.

Well my jack dempsey and oscar get along pretty good. My jack is a female so I don't know if that helps or not, my oscar is a bit on the aggressive side so I had to go with something that could hold it's own.

As for the combo in the 55g, it's working well. My sajica are a breeding pair but have not spawned since I moved them into the 55g. As for the rainbows I was hoping that with 7 of them I'd get a pair, but so far the only egg laying going on has been between 2 females. But I don't know how much longer they'll have to pair up since I'm considering switching that tank over to discus.
