Interesting looking JD?

I've seen a lot of JDs look like this coming from EBJDxBGJD. I personally think they are minimally expressed EBJD, though I'm not even sure if that is possible. I also don't know a lot about fish genetics. I know in horses and dogs there are many different white patterns and they can be expressed in varying degrees. It would be cool if you kept this guy to adulthood and spawned it with a BGJD to see what it produces.
A BGJD and a JD looks the same. Btw though, there's a large variation in how JDs look, and same with BGJD, so just because you see some special pattern doesn't mean it's anything special - well, a sign of it being BG. It could very well just be a variation in that particular strain/population/individual.
EBJD x BGJD will produce EBJDs and BGJDs. Given that it's a simple system that controls this (i.e. one gene), there's no reason why the BGJD progeny of an EBJD x BGJD would look any different from the parental BGJD. Diets and stuff like that may play a role, but I doubt it's the genetics side of things.

I've heard that blue genes have both blue and green spangles. But I know no real way of telling.

Maybe. But to be honest he just looks like a regular JD to me, no carpintis or whatever. 
A lot of cichlids have very similar looking marks, which can vary greatly within the species, so won't be surprising if different individuals of some species look somewhat similar to those of other species.

Does he not look a little "Taller" than most JDs of his size?
Not rhetorical, I am not super familliar with JDs so I really want to know.
