The Jack Dempsey is one of our all time favorite cichlids. It can be tricky finding ideal tank mates for them, since some can be aggressive, but hopefully this list will point you in the right direction. Jack Dempsey cichlids are extremely rewarding fish to keep, and we highly recommend them if you have a large tank for them and possible tank mates.
