Just google for Nandopsis octofasciatum or Cichlasoma octofasciatum.
You'll find lots of pics, it's a bit undoable place them all in here

Hey jimbo
That dempsey in the picture, is that considered a good specimen? Will the average dempsey look as good as that when they reach adulthood?
I have a small juvenile right now. I've also kept them in the past, but not long enough for them to reach maturity. I'm debating whether to get rid of this juvenile or not and get something else. But if he will look like that, then perhaps I will put up the funds to get him his own tank (he's pugnacious, that's why I want to either get rid of him or get him his own tank).
Thanks

thats a unique picture. most jacks dont have that much variety of color.
most look like this
and often have a darker and more blue complexion.

I think this picture was taken with the right lights and perhaps even retouched. Most pictures look a bit like mr.Jingel's.

if you show that pic,you must be sure who a audalt dempsey really look like(i have never se a dempsey look that great).

They tend to change color with mood and stresslevel (darker when stressed). Also depending on what lights you have the fish will reflect more or less of the iridescens - I think that 18 000K or 20 000K lights really bring out the blue/green.
is that possible to get the light at that degree? Ive only heard of over 10 000k lights. never 20 000k. that would be one bright sun.
anyways, I dont think I quite understand the thing about that I had to post before the information could be right, but it doesnt really matter. Jacks are like the one in the picture I posted.
