Lfs fish?

[tommybhermitage]

Hey guys, I was just wondering if you get dempseys from a lfs, are they pure dempseys or deformed hybrids? Lol I want a pure dempsey not some fake crap.

All the ones I have seen are pure Jacks. The only thing about them is that they a F2000 and nowhere close to wilds or F1's.

Is there really a difference in wild or f2000? Or just the fact

Lfs Dempsey are inbred deformed pure Dempseys.

Some are deformed, but they should be so deformed that it takes away from their normal characteristics. My jds are f2000 and they are pretty normal

Look at the jd on jeff rapps' site and then look at the ones at the lfs and just try and compare. An lfs jd is gonna look like crap 99% of the time. Here is a pic of my friends he got from rapps. Sorry for the poor pic, only one i could find.

Even if they don't initially look deformed the usually develop a curved spine and drop tail when they get older.

I'm no expert and don't claim to be, but from what I've experienced, there is a difference. I had the pleasure of getting 6 F1's at the ACA convention auction in 97 and 4 F1's while I was stationed in Germany from 2002 until late 2005. They were the meanest and nastiest fish I have ever kept and they had better coloring as well. All the other Jacks I've had very very docile and drab in comparison. Because of reasons like this, I prefer to keep fish that are WC or F1's or F2's. This is strictly my opinion though. I have NO scientific evidence to back this up, just my personal experience.
