Golden Jack Dempsey 3"+
Product Details
A "Golden Jack Dempsey" is a stunning, all-gold variant of the aggressive Jack Dempsey cichlid (Rocio octofasciata), prized by aquarium hobbyists for its vibrant color contrasting with its deep brown/black base, known for territorial behavior and requiring ample space and a varied diet of pellets and live foods, making it a popular but challenging addition to freshwater tanks.
- Coloration: Unlike the standard blue/black Dempsey, the gold variety boasts a radiant, uniform golden hue, sometimes with blue iridescence.
- Temperament: Still a Jack Dempsey, it's known for being territorial and aggressive, especially towards its own species, so individual housing or large tanks with other tough cichlids are recommended.
- Diet: Omnivorous, thriving on high-quality cichlid pellets, supplemented with live foods like brine shrimp, worms, and blanched vegetables.
- Size: Can grow quite large (over 10 inches), needing a substantial aquarium (much larger than 20 gallons) to prevent stunted growth and stress.
