Need A Little Id Help.

[Luixfern]

So when I got this fish I was looking for a blue acara. I'm not entirely sure now whether it is an acara or maybe something else. Sorry for the quality, took it with my iphone.

Don't see a photo

 

[Luixfern]

You sure? I see it....

 

[shroob]

I can see the picture. I would also question the blue acara tag, though I'm not entirely sure what it is. At the moment the leading suggestion would be a jack dempsey, but that doesn't look right either, so I'm thinking a possibly hybrid invovling a jack dempsey (possibly blue acara x dempsey cross).

Any chance of a better picture?

Looks like a standard Archocentrus Octofasciatus (Jack Dempsey Cichlid.)

I agree with shroob. It looks alot like a JD but also has traits of another fish such as a blue acara. The mouth is to pointed and the color to dark to be a pure JD.

Iam going also with jack dempesy, think its just the angle and lighting that make's you think something else....could you get some more shots?try standing up and aiming downwards on the tank

 

[foley69]

i would disagree it doesnty have the facial shape of a JD i dont think we can deffo find out what it is unless we can get a closeup

maybe mix with jack dempsey

 

[Miah002]

If it's a hybrid then would it be called jack arca or blue dempsy?

This my friend is the true jack dempsey,,,ledgendery boxer that they named the fish after

 

[Miah002]

Ohhhh was he a good boxer?

Did he discover the jack dempsy or was it named after him because he was famous?
