Jack Dempsey Strains

[Yogie]

Hi All,

A friend and I were just discussing the different Jack Dempsey strains and we were not sure about the Electric Blue strain.

Is there an Electric Blue JD (electric blue all over) and also just a Blue JD (darker body with blue speckles all over)?

I couldn't remember if I had seen a post on here about a Blue JD strain which differed from the "Electric Blue" strain.

Are they two different strains or the same?

Sorry for the confusion...

Thanks.

If I recall correctly, I'm no Dempsey expert here, there is the
original Jack Dempsey
gold jack dempsey
electric blue dempsey
and the blue/gold cross
That's all the ones I have seen.

Above post is correct.

So what would the fish I saw the picture of come under, it had a black body with blue speckles all over?

Here are some pics gathered from MFK

There's rumor of a red jack dempsey but I've yet to see one.

Oh ok it looks to be the Original.

Thanks for clearing that up RedDwarf.
