Red Jack, Hybrid ?

[nsomnia]

hey everyone, just picked up a jack today that was dropped of at the local pet store. just wondering if anyone has seen a jack like this or is it a hybrid. its much more vibrant than my current jacks.

Its either a really nice black JD or Its got some firemouth or Salvini in it, either way... nice fish

BTW what size tank is that? cos i see you have a beautiful Midas and a Green Terror on top of your sig stock!

I'd say Texas x JD

 

[Confish]

is that a jewel in there aswell?

Looks like a JD that has great color. I don't think it's a mix.

I thought that, i just never seen red on a JD.

Deffo no Texas in it, Texas x JD usually look like deformed Texas.

He looks normal run of the mill to me, might just be the light making it like that,or showing up to one of the other cichlids

That Midas is going to kill most of that tank if it breeds with any of the other Cichlids.

my 10 inch male just mated with one of my pink convicts and there was no probs at all, only fish ive ever had aggression probs with in the 300 gal is zebra africans, for what ever reason there non stop aggressive, all my other fish arent agressive at all. well except my oscar who attacks the glass when i get to close never had probs with any of my midas, personally i find there aggression over rated
