LOL great minds think alike Mike. That is exact same thing I guessed before seeing your post.

Ya I am pretty sure that is the combo, you can see the JD and Jag traits in both. Just was looking for other opinions

yeah i am gonna have to say those are manacondas

 

[Andrewtfw]

first looks just like a dempsey/jag cross my buddy used to have. Second and third look to be more dempsey than festae. I agree the manaconda pics look similar in body shape but the coloration and shape of the head on your pics look more dempsey to me.

st peters fish?

The manaconda suggestion is interesting and they do look similar. With one exception the mouth and lip structure. To me it says Jack Dempsey all the way. BTW both fish are believed to be from the same parents.
