I need a tripod lol, but he's the strongest, hardiest pacific blue I've owned. Lost two before I got this guy.

He's even survived two attacks from ich (damn feeders :swear: ). I can't wait to get a tube of actinic lighting over the tank to see how that brings out his color. The plant bulb (prob 6700k) doesn't do him any justice.
 
Awesome fish, I assumed they don't cross cichlids with condiments.
 
how you figure its a pacific? its not a powder? how can you tell the difference and how much did you get him for? im thinkin about gettin one cuz my lfs got some dope ass ones for 30 a piece. nice fish dude

All blue dempseys are the same thing. I call them "pacific" blue's because that is what Hector Luzardo originally called them in the 80's, and I like it more than "electric" or powder....
 
Very nice. Sad you don't see many that big.
 
whats the difference between a pacific blue jack dempsey and a blue jack dempsey?
 
That's a nice fish. I'm looking for a pair myself.

Why is the success rate so low with this fish? :confused:
 
Very nice are you sure hes male as the females tend to be the ones with more solid blue.Mines much darker with a lot of black markings.
