Please note : This fish average about 1.5" in length. They are small and much more docile than regular Jack Dempseys and should not be kept with these fish. Electric Blue Dempseys do not naturally occur in nature, and it is debated whether they are line bred variants, or hybrids. Regardless, with their beautiful blue and silver speckles, these fish are very beautiful. They should not be kept with smaller fish or docile tankmates as they will eventually become quite aggressive. They are best kept with other Central American cichlids, but can be kept with other fish of similar size and temperament. They will accept a variety of foods such as flake, pellets, and the occasional frozen foods. They enjoy a tank with ample rockwork to explore, and they should be safe with plants, though sometimes they can redecorate certain areas of their tank to their own liking, uprooting plants and knocking over other decor.
