what colors can jacks be?

[nate da fishman]

i have two JackDempseys and one is dark and with dark stripes anddark eyes and the other islight colored and with not the dark stripes. and the black one bulleys the light colered one.

so is the dark one mixed with maybe a con?

I've seen tanks that are labeled Dempseys but have fish that are most likely hybrids of demps and Texas. Do you have a picture of your fish?

[nate da fishman]

Yours are all normal jacks, but juvies tend to stay lighter until they're older.

But even adults can flush out their color when stressed out.


As far as other strains, there are gold JDs and blue JD's
