The Jack Dempsey fish, native to North and Central America, is known for its aggressive temperament, which has earned it the name Jack Dempsey, after the famous boxer. This species displays particularly territorial behavior, especially during breeding, making it a challenging but rewarding choice for experienced aquarists. Despite its aggressive nature, the Jack Dempsey fish remains popular due to its striking coloration and robust health, making it a standout addition to larger, carefully managed aquariums.
