It was my birthday the other day and i finally decided to step up my fish keeping game and got myself an O, hope you like him as much as i do



have yet to name him



and of coarse my 5-6 month old EBJD "Jacko"



i love his color

What a cute runt!!! Although he wont be a runt long!

haha thats for sure, and Jackos already standing up for the little guy when the convict comes around

nice looking oscar and jd. i hope they always play nice with each other.

Your JD looks more like a normal JD than the EBJDs I have seen. I think thats a good sign that your fish will be more healthy and grow at a more normal JD rate. The colors are still great though.

congratz

They are irrestable aren't they...lovely little fella...Shaz

He'll be a tank dominating sea monster in no time.

you know to be honest i've wondered if there was such thing as a 1/2 1/2 with EB and rego JDs cuz he certainly grows more than i was lead to believe a EB would, his color is real blue so im pretty sure hes not a rego but idk are there weak strained EBJD that would be lil dif than a pure EBJD?

and good news the lil O made it throu the night none the worse for wear

great markings on your baby, hope they stay that clearly visible.

haha me too, now i read another post you commented on noddy discussing a "Lutino" oscar. Now mine was advertised as a Albino Tiger and sure has the right eyes to be one and yet im startin to see a lil darker color differentiation on the fin tips. Would this maybe mean its and albino lutino?

Nope, to be called an albino there shouldt be a complete lack of pigment added to thoe red eyes, resulting in a completely white fish.
Any markings will immediatly disqualify your fish as Albino.

understood, but you yourself said that the red eyes arn't natural for a lutino... so may it be taht i have a red eyed lutino?

Yep, that it is!
allthough i couldn't tell you what percentage of Lutinos have red eyes, compared to black.
