What do you all think? In a 75 gallon tank, 2 AC 500's, 75*F temp, Lots of hide spots and 1pr. of 5-7" jack dempsey's with 1 pr. of 3" rainbow cichlids. Can it work?

Your opinions welcome and requested as i'm running out of tank space and need to make a move.

Thanks in advance. opcorn:

Don't think rainbows would stand a chance against JDs, much less larger ones.

I wouldn't try it.

I agree Rainbows would most likely be too docile to coexist long term with a Dempsey...

I've found W African Jewels to make great 'dithers' for Dempseys.

Yes it is true they come from different continents and may "speak a different language", but they do thrive in the same water conditions...

Thanks to both of you for the input. Well I geuss it's back to the drawing board on this one.

What tanks/fish do you have? Maybe we could come up with an alternate idea to help you shuffle things?
