Jack Dempsey - Rocio octofasciata

[CSnyder00]

Just hatched out some Jacks a few weeks ago from my blue gene carrier Jack Dempseys. Figured it was time to start earning some points!

JD's are a great fish. They are under appreciated. An adult pair is simply beautiful.

My adults are absolutely stunning. I submitted my male in the photo contest last month. He's a bruiser and he is awesome looking. Oddly skiddish for a Jack, though. I've kept several in the last 10 years and he is by far the easiest to spook.

Here he is in non-breeding colors:

That is a beautiful fish!

Thank you! I think he is rather nice myself.

he looks like he should be in that movie Avatar.

I'll have some of his children ready in a bit...start making room...

A group of these should be in as a BAP donation this Saturday! Make some room!
