Dempseys may not be for everyone but I've always loved them..What I'd like imput on is how many people have seen Dempseys with Nuchal humps? I've seen it on Rick coyes monster ebjd...But in general anyone got pictures of nice domes or Crowns on Jacks to share. Geno types, standard, wild caught ebjd or platinum or gold..I'm sharing of one that I Have on a blue geno type I have..And another of a friends ebjd...

Im not a huge Dempsey fan, not that I dislike them they just arnt my thing. They look like they are getting some nice iridescence to them.

They will always be my favorite fish...I know they're not for everyone but I think thats whats great about the hobby is our own nitch..Mines is the dempseys for sure

I should have tagged my name" Lord of the Dempseys !" However I like so many other fish as well. I love this hobby.

Yup, every one has different tastes. Thats one reason why I get annoyed when I see people on here "O thats ugly" and so on. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. Its what you like that matters. :D
 
So true. Man first dempsey I saw with a nuchal hump was the Male in New york city that was mean! WE simply called him the "Male" Then I saw one that Umbeeking brought back from Belize in the 90's we called him the Red Wine jack...Red and long trailors with a nuchal hump..nicest specimen I've ever seen..
 
nice demps for sure! loving the blue pearls...
Ive only seen a nuchal hump on rick's dominant ebjd beast like you mentioned, but it isnt too rare if the fish is in an aggressive environment and has the genes for it :)
 
Great colours on the jds what you feeding them on pellet ?
