Thanks you guys So would a JD get along with another JD? Cause I don't want to just have one in the tank and that's it, if I could have two would be nicer. If I see him start attacking the angelfish then I will have to remove the angelfish to another tank.

Unless you have a much much larger tank, then yes you can get 2.. but a 50gal is only good for 1 JD & no friends. Not even pleckos, or catfish, or snails...

Large cichlids are the kind of fish you keep alone. Many do not do well with their own kind in a tank, as they are just too close to each other. They need a lot of terrirtory to be able to live in the same tank.

I had 3 baby Red Devils (What Mango was) & they all tried to kill each other... Only 1 lived & that was Mango..

When the JD turns on the angel fish, it'll be too late to do anything... He'll tear chunks out of it.. JD have sharp teeth.. Jack was only about 6" & he bit me once & I bled. It was an accident as I had taught him to jump out of the water & take food from my hand.. however he learned that if he bit me he'd still get the food as I would drop it cause he bit me hard!! lol They are VERY smart fish.

I love them

Boy youa re brave. I won't stick my fingers within inches of my sunfish's tank surface. I've seen him eat the snails I have, and they say nothing can eat trumpet snails cause they are so rock hard. A finger would fit in his mouth so easily.

Jack was my little baby boy, I love that little guy so much, I didn't care how much blood I lost to him, it was fun getting him to jump to get his food Now with Mango I wasn't stupid, no way on EARTH was I putting my hand anywhere NEAR his water... I used a 6+" commet as bait for Jack when he died & came back to life with brain & eye damage... After Jack got his corridation mostly back, I took out the commet & gave it to Mango to eat. Well Mango had never seen that big of a mean before, so he kissed it not knowing what to do with it.. the commet turned around & charged Mango... Mango fled, turned around & charged... He bit 1/2 its head off!!!! Mango broke his 55gal tank, smashed glass rocks, took chunks out of marbels & when he bit the tank you could hear his teeth scratching the glass... Mango was a VERY agressive fish!!!
