Nice fish! Never knew they got that large. I always thought they max'd out at 6".

These two were measured at 8" in march when I bought them. I'm sure they have grown a little but most of their energy has been put into healing(the female had pretty chewed up fins) and fattening up. Thank you!

Thanks David That first JD is a female. She was sold to me as an ebjd but some members here don't think she is an electric blue. I'm hoping she will pair up with my male BGJD. Then we will see for sure what she is

Here's a picture of a big male who was pushing 11" in the show tank at the ACA Convention in Sacramento a few years ago (He won first in his class!)...

I'm sorry Sandy, but that's (NOT) an EBJD.

These Dorsal fins

Electric Blue Jack Dempsey's Dorsal & anal fins are much different from Wild type Jack Dempsey's.

What I'm saying is that that JD is (NOT) an EBJD.
Spangling patterns on that JD is also (NOT) consistent with EBJD spangling.
It's either WTJD or BGJD.

Thank You
