great photo of the bubble wall... I love how you decorated with the plants and driftwood. You fishies should be very happy in there!

nitz

Your tank looks great platy ben!! Can you redo mine??

platy ben

Yup.

Im very happy with my JDs reaction to the new comers, hes left them alone and is not paying any attention to them, although he is still young, i think hes not going to be the beasty bad boy most people say JDs are.

platy ben

haha thanks nitz , i would, but your all the way in canada lol

Im glad to hear that your JD's are getting along with the newcomers. I have two juvies in a 29 right now and they are all alone, as i dont dare add anything with them, but it is only a grow out tank for them. Please keep us updated on how your Jd's are getting along with everyone in the larger tank, Id really like to know.

platy ben

i iwll b sure to keep u updated hes at about 3 and a half inches now

capekate

In your photos of him I thought he looked about the size of my two. My guys are about the same size too. Good luck with him.. they are so cool and full of personality. I love these JDs too.
well without hijacking your thread on your new tanks any further.. I will await your update in the days to come on how your JD is getting along with all the other fish mates!

platy ben

Yup, well i dont mind a bit of hi jacking especially because were talking about our jack dempseys , cant wait until he hits 4 inches then he will start to get all his blue scales he has a lot of blue on his throat and gills at the moment .

Hes got 2 habits, trying to swollow the hole lump of bloodworm i put in, and failing miserably
and he also peeks his head out of one of the bits of driftwood

I will try to photograph both of them 2 things in the future for you to see
