Description

The Electric Blue Jack Dempsey is a stunning freshwater fish known for its vibrant coloration and unique appearance. At 2-3 centimeters, this fish is in its juvenile stage, showing hints of the brilliant colors that will develop as it matures. Here’s a detailed description:

Coloration: The Electric Blue Jack Dempsey is renowned for its striking electric blue coloration, which appears as an iridescent, metallic sheen covering most of its body. Even at a young size of 2-3 centimeters, the blue color is evident, though it will intensify as the fish grows. The body is typically covered in specks of deep blue, with darker spots or stripes adding contrast.

Body Shape: This fish has a robust, oval-shaped body typical of cichlids, with a slightly compressed profile. Its fins are well-developed even at this small size, and as the fish grows, the dorsal and anal fins will become more elongated and pronounced.

Temperament: While the Electric Blue Jack Dempsey is generally less aggressive than its standard Jack Dempsey counterpart, it can still exhibit territorial and semi-aggressive behavior, especially as it matures. At this juvenile size, it is relatively peaceful but may start showing signs of territorial behavior as it grows.

Activity Level: This fish is active and inquisitive, often exploring its environment and interacting with its surroundings. It tends to be more aggressive during feeding times and when establishing its territory within the tank.

Social Behavior: While young, the Electric Blue Jack Dempsey can coexist with other fish of similar size. However, as it matures, it’s essential to consider tank mates carefully. They should be housed with other similarly sized, robust fish that can tolerate a somewhat aggressive tank mate. Avoid keeping them with very small or overly docile species.

Tank Size: A single juvenile Electric Blue Jack Dempsey can be kept in a smaller tank initially, but as it grows, a tank of at least 55 gallons is recommended. This will provide ample space for swimming and territory establishment.

Water Parameters: This species prefers slightly acidic to neutral water with a pH of 6.5-7.5 and a temperature range of 75-80°F (24-27°C). Maintaining stable water conditions is crucial, as the Electric Blue variety is somewhat more sensitive than the standard Jack Dempsey.
