I've seen only a few EBJD that have had more of regular jd look to them. They were plain as day EBJD when juveniles but as they grew their coloring changed to more of normal jd look. They did have very blue spangles. If you were to see them, not knowing what they looked like as juveniles, you would say they were not blue dempsies. This may be your case here. As long as you know their origin than so be it. A few more pictures will definitely help. So I would not doubt that this an EBJD as of yet. More pictures please.

Ditto! It could be a phase and it may end up looking like an EBJD after settling in and getting some good food and care.

Either way I figure its got to have some Blue Gene in it

This makes no sense. BGJD's look identical to standard JD's. No such thing as a "little Blue Gene in it".
 
I'll try and get more pics later.I Am at work now.Do EBJDs not have the Blue Gene in them?I know there is no way to tell the differance between BGJD and regular JDs by just looking at them.
 
EBJD's have two of the "blue gene" genes (aka alleles). Normal JD's don't carry any of the blue gene alleles. BGJD have one each of the normal and the EBJD alleles.

It's a recessive trait so it's only expressed when the fish has both alleles of the EBJD. With one EBJD allele and one normal allele the normal allele is the expressed phenotype.

The phenotype is either on or off. Expressed or not. Read up on basic Mendelian Inheritance.

That looks like a regular JD, a very nice looking one with great color but not an EBJD.
 
Thats a weird one. Not regular looking in my opinion but not ebjd looking either. Only real way of finding out is breed him to a known bg female and see how what % ebjds you get. Nice looking fish either way..dgarrett
 
Thats what I'm saying,not regular but not EB either.Somewhere in between.I'm going to contact the lfs I got them from to see if they can give me any info about the parents of these two JDs.
 
They are blues I have had a few that turned out like that decent price nice fish though love the blue demps. but no matter what I do I cant grow one over 6 inches!
