Question
Hello,
It is me again we recently discussed my tiger oscar that i lost. Im going to take your advice and clean the tank thoroughly and arm myself with medications. I was considering a small jack dempsey chiclid, and i was wondering if you could explain how to keep a healthy fish. I also was wondering if it would be harder to care for than an oscar.

Answer
I am afraid that a Jack Dempsey would get too large for the 30 gallon. It really needs 55 gallons. If you are interested in Cichlids check out Rams, Labs, Apistos, Kribs and Keyhole cichlids who all breed readily and would be appropriate for a 30 gallon.
