Trying A Jack

[clay]

Well i have had 6 juvenile jack dempseys for about 5 months now and i was going to raise them and waitfor them to pair off. anyway i was in my lfs today and i saw the most beautiful jd i have ever seen anywhere around my area so i bought him for $25. i thought it was a pretty good price i will be adding pics later.

That is certainly a beautifull Jack! Nice find. How big is he exactly? Also, what do you plan now for your bunch of 5?

well i like your electric blue also. and he is seven and a half inches long. the five that i already have im going to let them pair off then im going to sell them. im going back to get the female that was in the tank with him today because i didnt have enough money yesterday. she is about 6 inches long.

I prefer the normal type to the Electric Blues, the EBJD's get seriously ugly when they get some size, i gave mine away.

I like your choice for a name tho 'Brock Lesnar'

Is mine ugly. He's 8"

Yes, Electric Blue Jack Dempseys can turn out ugly, but not all, which you post insinuated. Now before i get and posts back saying not to antagonise the scenario i'm not. It's the luck in the breeding with Jacks as a whole. Some are real beauts, and others get hit with the ugly stick pretty hard. Goes to say with alot of fish, but more-so Jacks it seems. But to state that the EB variant get seriously ugly in the way you did makes it sounds like all of them do, which they don't. Just putting it politically correct
