Green Convicts

that is a JD x convict, no question about it.

the greenish blue lines on its face look like gt not jd
jd have more circles and blotches and not too green (that small atleast)

You have a female con x JD, I haven't the slightest doubt about it. Stands out to me like differentiating between a cardinal tetra and a neon. I'd wager you a hefty chunk of cash on it, if there were some readily-available means of proving it.


The irridescent marks on the gills are blatantly Female JD, and the black/yellow striping just screams JD in general.

i wouldn't bet on it
i don't care that much
it is not even my fish
i think that it looks gt x con because i have never seen any dempsys with lines of color on the gill plate
the dark stipes do look dempsy though

female JDs look noticeably different from male JDs, once you know what to look for.
check the gill plates of the females

If u guys are still talking about my fish it is definately green color which is alot easier to see in person. The body and mouth do look like a convict. It will be interesting to see what it looks like when it gets bigger. Over the past week alot more green in coming out...

i own both male and female dempsys , i know what to look for. neither females nor males get green line on the gill plate. i am fully aware of the differences in the looks of male and female dempsy

Here is a updated pic this week. See the spot under the eye and the spot at the mid section? Definately Green Terror looking. I saw Blue Acaras in the store today and my fish does not look like what was in the store. I also have a normal looking Green Terror so I know what those look like. The bigger this mutt gets the better it is looking.

not a good idea... hybridization should be discouraged...!

I agree. It is fun, but don't we have enough species to pick from as is.

Look at the picture below. You want your fish to look like this? be my guest, But I promis people will scorn you. They did me anyways.
