Got this Convict a few days ago and I’m just starting to notice his fins have a red and blue hint to them and I know that’s not normal for Convicts so could he be a hybrid with something else?
Convict Hybrid?

Also recently got this JD and it’s the blackest JD i’ve ever owned!! oils this also be a new type of JD, don’t normally see juveniles jet black like this. 
Convicts are so mixed that it is tough to determine if it is ever pure unless you got it from a trusted source. Yours looks like it has a hint of honduran red point. The JD black is common and looks to be female.
The most trusted source in my area I got the convict from but I guess not trusted enough, however i’m not complaining the added red and blue hue to his fins i like a lot. As for the Female JD does that mean when full grown she will never have the bright blue speckles or nearly as many speckles as a male would? I used to have a 6” male JD and it was the most stunning fish I’ve owned. Kinda sad to hear this one might be a female.
and that’s what i worry about when it gets bigger it’ll become brown and no color like that. my old male was always shimmering blue speckles
I bet but it’s night and day with the the male behind her how different they look lol. So what do you think could be the reason mine is darkening up so much. could it breed with the convict? I’d like to see that hybrid lol
