This is my stunning male


"the animal guy" Do you enjoy antagonizing and trolling fellow users by saying totally irrational statements?!? Knowing that they'll offend and upset someone who loves this species, like me??

Thanks....

Can you post clear pics of the male and female so its not just my eyes deceiving me on the ID of your male... It definately looks like a Jack Dempsey in the first video. Why? - because from that angle the mouth looks large and rounded like a JD and with a lot of iridescent blues on it... Istlanum don't have carry that form of coloration on the lips.

My male when he was just 4 inches long looks nothing like that fish in the video

Yours looks a lot more like this... A juvenile JD.

I really like this male. Great species imo & are a really manageable size. Mine had some serious attitude at like 2" maybe. They kept getting past the divider & trying to pick on my dovii
 
Yeah my male owns the tank with a larger Midas and Festae.
 
Here's another pic of that amazing RED ISTLANUM Female!!!
