The first couple images are of the jack Dempsey that I believe is possibly a hybrid? And the last couple images are of my regular jack dempsey that I purchased at the same time, from the same store, and was in the same tank as the other. Both were labeled as jack dempsey. Any thoughts?

Look like regular JDs to me. They like to darken and lighten depending on their mood. The darker one may be a female, but kinda hard to tell. The lighter one looks to be a male

I agree, regular jack dempsey, try to make sure the tank is not to bright, it can wash out the colors on them.

The second pick i was sure i was looking at a mutation instead of a dempsey. Looks like it had an arm and a few fingers. LMAO
BTW! I know it's the fin.
