The Jack Dempsey is a colorful, hardy fish from Central America. It adapts well to different water types but shows best color in neutral conditions. Known for its strong jaw and territorial behavior, it needs a large tank—150 gallons for groups or 90 gallons for pairs. Pairs form strong bonds and care well for their young, making them interesting to keep and breed.
