What kind of cichlid is this?

[hacksgirls]

Hello all! I am trying to find out what type of cichlid the one on the far right is? It's not my fish but I'm curious to know what it is, research it and see if it's appropriate for my cichlid tank. Any help is greatly appreciated. I did ask for identification on the thread it was on but I received no response. Thank you again so much!!

Just replied to that thread, it's a jack dempsey, I think.
Is your cichlid tank the 45 gallon? If so, JDs would need a larger tank.

No, I actually upgraded to a 125 and took all my tropicals back and traded them in for Africans. Thank you so much for responding!!

As Mike said in the other thread, they won't do well with african cichlids anyway.

Oh, okay. I seen that it was in a tank with Africans so I assumed it was OK. Thank you for your response and help though!

 

[Anders247]

Yeah, I'm not sure why he has them with africans. Will have to bring that up.

It's a shame you can't. They are beautiful fish!!
