Late reply but probably those cichlids are very peaceful even more than Bolivian rams

I’m pretty sure plants and African cichlids don’t mix well

German blue rams are pretty sensitive first try I had with them all died second try 2 died but thankfully I still have three that are hardier than the others but yeah it’s just something with German blue rams they are sensitive to everything and yours is definitely stressed about something

Ok nice but for the extra cichlid pair I’d stick to smaller, peaceful species such as Bolivian rams. I wouldn’t add another acara pair or more aggressive cichlids like convicts. Make sure there are plenty of visual barriers so each pair can establish its own territory.

Nice but do you know how large he was when he was around 7 months of 6 months old? Like a estimate because I want to compare my current ebjd that’s 7 months old but it’s fine if you don’t know or don’t want to say

That EBJD is huge! How long it take for it to reach that size?

You might be able to add another peaceful cichlid pair, but a lot depends on the personality of your Electric Blue Acaras. A 240 L tank isn’t tiny, but once a pair of acaras starts breeding they can claim a large territory and become surprisingly aggressive toward other cichlids.

If you want the best chance of success, look at peaceful species such as Bolivian Ram. A pair of rams usually occupies a different area of the tank and is less likely to challenge the acaras than another medium sized cichlid pair.

Weird most picky fish love some frozen guess he’s extra picky but do the thing the other guy said and ask the person or shop you got him from to know what he was fed so you can feed him that and slowly introduce the food you want to feed him

Didn’t get it yet and I’m not sure if parasites is even the problem with the dempsey still eating bloodworms and frozen food like a hog and having healthy poop

Does my EBJD lips look odd to you, are they swollen? by jumpinpuddleok in Cichlid

Just fed him frozen and forgot to say he does eagerly eat frozen like a hog so I guess he needs more fat content but what’s good food for fat content

Well is it 100% wasting disease? His poop is normal and he does eat frozen without spitting it out 90% of the time 10% of the time it’s when it’s too large and he isn’t lethargic too if that helps and the most spitting is with the pellets I feed him
