hello,
I'm trying to start a new aquarium.
my Mom says I should get a fish I like.
I've read a lot about fish including the jack dempsey fish. does anyone know if you can keep one in a tank lower than 20 gallons or is it to much of a gamble?
 
to small they need 50 gallons ^. maybe as a fry/ juvi but will most likely outgrow it quick.
 
thanks for the info
do you know of any fish like it that would fit in that kind of tank
 
Your best bet for a 20 gallon is some dwarf cichlid

Have a search of the following:
Macmasters dwarf cichlid
Aggasiz's dwarf cichlid
Cockatoo dwarf cichlid
Flag cichlid
Caete dwarf cichlid
Panda dwarf cichlid
Steindachner dwarf cichlid
Bolivian Ram

All these will fit in 20 gallon tank - how many and what with will depend what you like te look of
