Thats a unique looking EBJD, he had the patterns and shape of a normal morph JD, any more shots of him?
I noticed a major difference in head shape between Cichlidmasterpro's EBJD nd Rambo's EBJD. the first has a beak-like shape to its head like a parrot and rambo's is sloped like a normal JD
Why the difference anyone know?
Oh yeah nice fish too by the way

There has been a lot of research to conclude if Blue Dempseys are hybrid or natural occurring color morph
None of the research has shown any signs of them being a hybrid although the research is not conclusive enough to prove they are natural occurring.
I personally think it is ignorant for anyone to attempt to state conclusively either way opinions are legit, but should be stated as such
I have raised a regular male side by side with a Blue male the Blue male is slightly larger based on experience I think its silly to think that Blue Dempseys will not get as large as regular ones
Due to the way the color gene is passed down, these fish are all too often inbred. I believe this has caused deformities, which is why some do not have the exact same body shape as regular JDs.
Here are a few pics of some of mine
My biggest male (7.5 @ 2 years old)
Female in breeding colors (5 @ 1.75 years old)
Blue Female and Gold male (spawning pair)
My second largest Blue male and regular female (6.5 @ 1.75 years old)
Blue Gene fry growing out @ 3 weeks old (there are also Gold JD fry in the tank)
