Dempseys&Oscars

I wanted to get opinions about the new fish we just rescued. The albino Oscar and two unidentified fish were in a 40 gallon tank with another Oscar and a 10" pleco. We picked up the albino oscar, the black fish (maybe a jack dempsey) and the smallest of the fish and not quite sure what the small one is. Other people told us they think it's a female Jack Dempsey.

Congrats on the rescue! I'm sorry, I don't know much about cichlids, but you have a lovely tank, I hope someone else can help you out soon.

the one that you think is a jack dempsey i'm 99.99% sure is correct, for the other i'm not but that one's almost positively a JD

i believe they are both JD's one is just more mature than the other

Thanks! I was told they were probably Jack Dempseys before but they weren't 100% sure. Thanks for confirming this for me. Thanks for the comments about the tank looking nice as well.
