55 Gallon Jack Dempsy Tank

Just wanted to show my tank.

 

Wow, those are some really big rocks! Might be a bit much for the bottom of the tank don't you think? Nice JD tho!

 

Sorry for random picture don't know how to get rid of it

 

I will get rid of some when he is bigger it is just for places to hide when he is small.

 

Those are massive rocks indeed. Be cautious as it gets bigger that they can grow about 9-10" long. It might be hard for them to turn in a 55 gallon as the depth is only 11 inches.

 

Mine is 12

 

I got those rocks at a rock yard for $17 cad, they are basalt so they are fish safe.

 

I like the scape on the tank. Decent idea to adjust as it gets bigger. Cute little guy(or girl) for now.

 

You can make caves with smaller, flatter rocks. Those things look like boulders! lol

 

all of them ar flat on one side and Is my JD male or female?

 

Those look like nice rocks and all, but I would be afraid to have such large rocks in the tank! What if you accidentally knock one when cleaning? It could be a disaster! Also, did you put something like egg crate on the bottom to cushion the rocks to the glass? (Unless they are on the gravel) Still I would be too nervous that an accident would come about and ruin my tank!

 

They are on the gravel

I was saying flat rocks that are 1" thick like slate. Then you can make caves with lesser rocks.

 

Ok I might try that.

An example:

Also from the pic it's hard to determine the sex.
