I have an adult male blue/gold dempsey originally purchased from Marc (bb66cuda) as a baby. I would like to get in touch with anyone else that has any of these fish as adults, or that is producing this morph, and I would love to see pictures of any other adult blue/golds.

My male was recently paired with a female gold who has a 66% chance of also being a blue gene (I produced her last spring from a blue gene/ gold gene pair). They are getting ready to spawn, so hopefully soon I will find out if she does in fact carry the gene for electric blue.
sorry about the lousy camera phone pics. I will work on getting better pics up soon.

I also have a blue/gold dempsey from bb66cuda but its still kinda small, I would also like to see pics of larger blue/golds
 
Outlaw15w, thanks for posting the pic of your fish! Both look very nice, although the blue/gold does seem a little small. Do you think it may be a female? In my experience, males seem to reach a larger size faster than females of the same age, so if yours is female, that may explain the size difference.
Any luck with it pairing up with the EBJD? :)

baxtor_lex,
Thanks, glad you like the fish. They spawned last night, so there may be some babies available in the future...:)
 
i also think that its a female, im not sure about the pairing because i am currently in aghanistan my wife sent me the pic last week , th /e EBJD is def a male though
