  • My Dempsey

    I know he looks like every other dempsey, but it's awesome to see him, being my first fish i had in September-Octoberish, to go from a little 1 inch fish to this colorful guy. My tank has scratches and my camera doesnt do his colors any justice but i love watching him get big and healthy and colorful. i know its a silly post and you can see better dempseys on google but this is MY dempsey so booya

        ok, heres how you tell.
        males will have a more elongated body, with extensive spangles.
        the females, will have a splash of blue in the gill plates.
        i dont reccomend fish from petsmart usually, but i have gottne several really nice youngf female dempseys from them.
        i have breed dempseys for over 4 years, i have had 6 breeding pairs and several gold and blue dempseys aswell.
        if you want, when you get the chance, i could meet you somewhere, and we could run to the nearest petsmart, and get you a female.
        i can easilly tell the difference.
        pm me if you want to do that.

          if i ever get a separate tank with JUST the dempseys in it, ill take you up on that offer. i dont want them to have babies and cause havoc in the tank with the other couple cichlids i got right now. it would be great to breed him, hes awesome and healthy and gorgeous but i dont wanna cause problems with all my other cichlids.
