Sorry man, but that is just a plain regular JD. It looks nothing like an EBJD. Probably not worth more then $15 if that. Just curious, but did you order it from the link that listed showing the juvy?
Im not saying anyone here is wrong
nor siding that anyone is right
But I have raised a good number of Blue Dempseys as well as regular Dempseys. In the process of doing so I have raised a few standard Dempseys that had a tremendous amount of Blue spangles and look very similar to the pic and Ive raised a few Blue Dempseys that had a darker / duller overall appearance that looked similar to this picture
That being said its probably worth more than your typical standard Dempsey, as if it is a standard it is a very beautiful one but I would not pay as much as I would a brighter colored Blue Dempsey, as it has poor coloration for a Blue
As someone else mentioned, Id like to see a few more pics of this fish in different lighting or in different moods
I see it as questionable enough to ask for more pics but throwing out you got ripped off comments at this point is still presumptuous and rude

A bit more
Most of the adult Blue Dempseys Ive raised have gone through, what I call, an ugly stage. This is usually from around 4~5 or shortly after sexual maturity
Is this a Blue Dempsey?
That is a picture of my biggest Blue when he was in his ugly stage
Here are a couple more recent picture of him
Also note the drastic color differences in the same fish only a couple months apart

nc_nutcase, how old was the dempsey when he went through his 'ugly phase'? I just assumed that since the OP said his fish is at least a year and a half old that it would be full grown and displaying mature coloration.
