A monster in the making....

[flowerpower]

This guy is really growing on me. The photos don't capture the full intensity or range of color that he displays but I guess we all know how the story goes.
I recently introduced him to my big tank and he's thriving. Doesn't mind the big tank mates at all.

This is him 2 weeks ago.

A shot of one of his brothers.

And today, looking half an inch bigger.

I'll try to update with some decent photos soon. Thanks for looking!

What is it?, Jag/dovii?

 

[UMBEEKING]

Thats exactly what I thought! Jag/dovii cross.

 

[crenipterus svenagalus]

Motaguense?

 

[Sarkis]

It sure does look like a half jag half dovii.

 

[fishman112]

Yeah, jag pattern dovii mouth.

i'm confused!!! Does anyone else see the red in the dorsal?

 

[flowerpower]

Yea, he has a little red stripe. i never really took note of it until now. Huh.....
Any who, out of the dozen or so that i grew out he's the boss. He also looks more jag than the others.
Their father was a 13" jag and, for nostalgic reasons, I was very fond of him. Hopefully this little guy will fill his shoes.
Thanks for looking and posting guys.
Here's a link to a thread on the parents if anyone is interested.

I saw the thread on the parents. Your hybrids look like they come from good stock.
