Not an insult, simply the truth. Look around at photos of jacks. Most adults show signs of spinal deformities and quite a few have jaw deformities from being inbred for so many generations. I'd love to get my hands on some wild or F1 octos.

Go tell your jack I'm sorry I lowered its self-esteem. I'm sure he'll suck it up and get on with life.

I like how you were decent but added that last little remark after the fact.. no I don't have a JD. I was just sticking up for those that did. But thanks for being an ***hole..
 
i still think that fish is a hybrid. the way the tread reads impulse buy it sounds like he was browsing through a fish store and seen it and bought it so most likely not a f0 or f1 of anything. secondly send that picture to master of cichlids jeff rapps and ask him to get you a pure jd that has that much intense red. i doubt he could or this would not be the first one i ever seen on this site. i looked up the ones your talking about and yes small amounts of red can be seen but not like this. the fish doesnt have to take on any diff body stucture just because it was crossed with something it can simply just take some of the color which i believe is true in this case.
 
thats awesome...im jealous, i wonder what the offspring will look like if you breed him/her with a electric blue jack dempsey
 
hehe when I read the title I knew it has to be something special, you wouldn't just buy any regular old JD:ROFL: Awesome pickup. I have seen quality JD with the pink around the stomach area and such but nothing like that:eek:


Now that is something I would want, forget about them funny lookin EBJD.




That thing has as much red as a high red Firemouth male I used to have.
