I just bought this fish to add to my 150 gallon tank. It was sold as a Jack Dempsey, but its coloration looks different. What do you think, is it just a regular Jack Dempsey?

Sorry for the bad pictures.

Ya regular dempsey.... and bad pics my ass those are top notch my friend.
 
Its a Jack Dempsey 100% sure. Looks like he'll be a really nice male. Looks to be a little stressed but not bad (explains the pale in coloration.) Once you put him in his home feed him some good food he'll darken up more and his blue spangling will pop out. :D Good find!

I have been playing with the new camera and I still haven't got a picture I like of the Dempsey.
 
DEF a regular JD.

Looks a bit pale...probably stressed, but it's a normal JD.
