Impulse buy...Jack Dempsey

[VRWC]

Laguna Ocotal in Mexico, classified as Rocio ocotal. Posted in the scientific journal Zootaxa by Juan Schmitter Soto.

VERY Cool. Thanks!

I will be working at my LPS tonight and there is a ton of literature. Maybe I can find something there.

Good Deal. Please let us know if you find anything else out.

That is definitely a unique JD! I love it, im surprised nobody mentioned the yellow :S!

Do you guys know if this variant of JD has a different temperament?

 

[JoeFatFish]

Gary, your right...I do want one!

Beautiful, beautiful fish! I would have had a hard time resisting that if I saw it in a store as well. I'm really curious to hear any more info on this variation

Not an insult, simply the truth. Look around at photos of jacks. Most adults show signs of spinal deformities and quite a few have jaw deformities from being inbred for so many generations. I'd love to get my hands on some wild or F1 octos.

Go tell your jack I'm sorry I lowered its self-esteem. I'm sure he'll suck it up and get on with life.

I agree with you totally, I am a big fan of the Rocios, and I do in fact have some F1 Rocio Octofasciata from Cenote Escondido, they are some much nicer IMO:

They are offspring from Rusty Wessel wild caught fish, which are also stunning.

I have found these F1s, much faster growers than TB Octofasciata, nicer colour and darker.

BTW very nice Jack Dempsey mate
