New Jack Dempseys
My [acronym:7b63fc6499="Local Fish Store"]LFS[/acronym:7b63fc6499] just got in recently one of the most unusual color variations of a fish that I have ever seen. It is an electric blue Jack Dempsey. They are selling them for about $60 each. I don't have any interest in them personally but I wondered if anyone else had seen them.

That is them. Although the ones that my [acronym:09167a8de5="Local Fish Store"]LFS[/acronym:09167a8de5] has in stock are only juveniles about an inch long.

It may not be cool, but this is the second batch they got in. The first batch was bought by one customer the day they came in.

My understanding is that that particular strain is rare...hence the enormous "discus" type price...well worth the investment if healthy.

I've seem them at my [acronym:cdf952967a="Local Fish Store"]LFS[/acronym:cdf952967a]. Not very often. Very pretty fish though. Not for my tank unfortunately.

I have seen them at my LFSes, and the photo on this page is the best I have seen online that comes close to what they look like in person:
