my noob friend bought one today thinking it was a true JD. *facepalm*. what are these things like and what can i tell him to expect. from google they look gross and look like they have many health issues.
Where did you get the 'look like they have many health issues'? XD They look fine to me.
Anyways, treat it like an in between of a Jack Dempsey and a Convict.It won't be (i.e. temperament, maximum size, body shape, etc. etc.), but it's a nice approximation to start out with.
What size is it? Also any pics?
If the fish was sold as a JD my money is on it being a JD, what makes you say its a hybrid?

Looks like a young JD..just my opinion

Agreed
I don't need to see a pic to know what to look for lol.
