Get a few neon tetrae and a plecostemous, and maybe a couple of
channel cats...................or just buy fish food that does not
have any other color of flakes but Red. Sometimes netting those fussy
jokers, and shaking them profously and them dumping them on the floor
to flop around and get covered in dog and cat hair and lint, teaches
them a lesson and they see the light, but if not there is always the
john and the push of a handle and the sound of
whooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooosh..............problem
solved!

I have a Jack Dempsey fish and we love him but would like to add a few other
fish. I would like a catfish because our Jack will some not eat all his
food.
No I am not feeding him to much he just eats the red flakes or only the tan
ones or some other kinds of food. Is there a catfish that's good for a 20
gal tank? After that what other fish do you recommend?

Pay no attention to this creep.
He's a troll that likes to steal people's screen names, posts under
MANY different screen names as well to get around troll filters,
leaving nasty - usually vulgar posts.

If you have a Jack Dempsey in a 20 gallon tank, the tank is too small.
Should have at least a 55 gallon tank.

That depends on the size of the Jack Dempsey you are putting in the
tank... if he's 2-3 inches no problem... but they can GROW huge fast if
you feed them quite a bit.
