nice looking Dempsey

Amazing fish . How did they change Jds to electric blue or were they always there . From UK and have never seen one in shops or online tl recent and they dont even seem same shape as regular jd

Someone told me they used to cull the blues cause they were thought to be runts..i only came across them cause the guy at my local fish shop went to a show in Birmingham..when i seen them i jus had to get them..not cheap at £40 each.. but i think their worth it!!

Hey your from Uk then colin . I am Colchester where are you?

Cardiff...i get most of my fish from Maidenhead Aquatics..there all over the uk, you have probs heard of them.

No but i will look into them thanks

stunner.. hope he lives a long happy life..

so amazing, great colour, great fish

what size is it?

hes about 1" cant wait to feed him up

nice female

thank you..how can you tell its a female at this size???

you see that black dot on her body, thats how. males dont have that . 2nd she has very short dorsal fin. males at that size tend to have longer ones. im breedin some blues as we speak.

you can tell when she gets bigger she will have a nice gold shine to her as well. my suggestion . if you can find one out there in the uk buy a blue gene dempsey male and breed them. if you want the run down on how to breed them just email me @ ikn0wed@aol.com and i will tell you how the whole thing works

thanks for your help... is it true you need to breed bluse with a normal JD to get the blue offspring???

good luck by the way..let me know how it goes

well yes and no. the reason you breed reg to a blue (unless you have a blue gene ) is to get 25% blue gene ,25% blue and 50% reg demps. these blues are weak but not as weak as blue on blue breeding cause they are the weakest. you have to look at blue dempsey's as the retards of the family. very pretty but weak. so you have to throw in some reg (strong ) genes with them so they will survive.

will do..thanx i appreciate that :)
