Jack Dempsey and Salvini???

A young electric blue will look like this:

For all we know, one of these was used in its lineage at some point, but I doubt it. It would be lost anyway.
Your Jack just looks like it got lucky with a lot of good blue.

Definitely looking more male as he/she matures

I am so happy about that!!!!????
I don’t want to be picky but I would prefer a male as he will be in his own 75 gallon

People are saying that the breeder mixed EBJD with common but the back of his body is golden like a common looking like the little guy is darker due to a fact online saying it’s a dominant thing he is boss after all since he was in the tank!!! I will be ensuring that never changes!!!

Top half is golder on mine too. It’s gotten bluer as he’s matured.
Definitely related to dominance and surroundings. A cichlid can look like 2 different fish with these.
