Cichlasoma Octofasciatus Electric Blue Jack Dempsey Cichlid 3cm

Overview: The Electric Blue Jack Dempsey is a stunning freshwater fish that brings a vibrant splash of color to any aquarium. At just 3cm, these juveniles show promise of the radiant blue hues they are named for, which intensify as they mature. Known for their lively personality and hardiness, Electric Blue Jack Dempseys make a captivating addition to any fish enthusiast’s collection.

Origin: Native to the slow-moving waters of North and Central America, the Electric Blue Jack Dempsey thrives in environments that mimic their natural habitats. They prefer warm, slightly acidic to neutral water, with plenty of hiding spots among rocks and vegetation.

Feeding: These cichlids are not picky eaters. A diet of high-quality pellets or flakes designed for cichlids, supplemented with live or frozen foods such as brine shrimp, bloodworms, and blackworms, will ensure vibrant coloration and optimal health.

Tank Mates: While generally peaceful towards fish of similar size, careful consideration should be given when selecting tank mates. Compatible companions include larger tetras, peaceful barbs, and other cichlids that share similar water requirements. Avoid keeping with very small or overly aggressive fish.

Aggression: Electric Blue Jack Dempsey Cichlids can exhibit territorial behavior, especially during breeding. Providing ample space and hiding places can help minimize aggression.

Experience Level: Suitable for intermediate to advanced aquarists. Knowledge of cichlid behavior and tank requirements is beneficial for ensuring a harmonious aquarium.

Water Parameters:

  • Temperature: 22-28°C (72-82°F)
  • pH: 6.5-7.5
  • Hardness: 5-12 dGH

Create an aquatic masterpiece with the mesmerizing Electric Blue Jack Dempsey Cichlid. Its ease of care, combined with its striking appearance, makes it a prized specimen for any aquarist looking to add a touch of electric blue to their tank.
