LAJC2012 Posted November 23, 2009 Report Share Posted November 23, 2009 Hey guys, How readily available are Electric Blue Jack Dempseys? what sort of price do they go for? Ive read some forums with people arguing whether they are hybrids or not. Does anyone have these? if so, post some photos for me if ya can, Im keen to get some of these.

matt_a Posted November 24, 2009 Report Share Posted November 24, 2009 The general concensus from those who are better informed is that they are NOT hybrids. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gingerbeer Posted November 24, 2009 Report Share Posted November 24, 2009 Given on the eb jack dempsey site they admit that it is possible that they are a cross - that is a brave statement. On one side the parent is proven to be a jack - the other side is not. I am a sceptic mainly as the difficulty in maintaining the line is such as I have never heard in any other line bred fish. (not birds - fish) Additionally it is very in line with the need to breed back for shape common amongst crossed fish. My opinion. Steve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Braddo Posted November 24, 2009 Report Share Posted November 24, 2009 This is a really hard one I thought they were hybrids but after reading an article in one of this years tfh mags from the actual hatchery where they were first bred, they explained how they came about. Might be worth trying to get your hands on this mag to make your own decision. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
