I posted about my Black JD months ago...i too found her in a tank of 1" fry, she was the only black one
...people on here assured me it would lighten up with age or less stress
.... well guess what!!!! its now 4-4.5" and still jet black just like yours
....it has blue spangles that glow in the light
.... she too has never changed color maybe 2-3 times for a few housr to a dark charcoal grey
..... i honestly think it is a new gene mutation
....or possibly a JD with a mood dissorder
...lol...those are my theories.... but good luck with yours
!!! i'm attempting to breed more blacks but have to grow her out a little more first....

They look awesome!
Its been awhile since i've seen one in person tho.. most were at Petsmart and they had them HUGE.. at 5-6" but for 8.99 not a bad price...
If i do see one tho.. i think i will get it.. but ya.. nice looking fish!

Nothing special pretty common actually that is just a female JD in a mood they can turn black like that when stressed angry or some times for seemingly no reason when young
