Gold Morph Jack Dempsey?

why couldn't you just post these exact same pictures in your other thread?
Dude are you OCD? Just chill! You nag on everybody. It seems like every thread I go to you are nagging at somebody. Is that all you do all day? You haven't provided me with any logical information. Get a life
I think what Frank Castle is trying to do is get the most concise information with the least amount of unnecessary threads that just repeat the same information.
because your spamming, it's getting really annoying and the Mods aren't gonna put up with it for long. You need to learn how to follow directions.
If I haven't provided useful information, who told you that you might have a Gold morph Jack Dempsey, hence this thread?
This is a forum where you come to exercise your brain and gain intelligence. Start doing it.
Duplicating threads and spamming are against MFK rules.
If you looked at the video I posted in your other thread, at around minute 2:50 you will see a number of young (similar age to yours) JDs in nature, which are the same color as yours.
Gold morphs are not usually found in nature, because they are line bred.
The dark JDs at the beginning of the video are much older and larger (between 8"-10")
Color of background and substrate also affect whether JDs will be darker or not.
Your tank seems open to light colored walls, and JDs usually try to blend with their surroundings.
You will also notice in the video the darker individuals were near shaded, overhangs and dark algae colored rocks.

Many cichlids will stay light, with a light background.
To get better (darker?) colors, putting black paper on 3 sides of the tank can often help tremendously, and also really helps when taking photos, and covering up unsightly wires.

I spray paint styrofoam insulation panels black, and tape them to the back, bottom, and sides of most tanks. It makes the fish feel secure, so they often do not hide, color up more (especially cichlids) and it also helps hold heat during power outages, and just in general saving on the heat bill. When I lived in the north, I had 1000+ gallons of tanks, so my energy cost was rather high without insulated panels.
