Here's a picture of my JD from 3 months ago. At the time of the picture, I've had him for 4 months. His color has changed ALOT and he's in a relatively bright tank. When the lights are off he's basically black. With the lights on he's gray with black vertical bars.
I regard to the bright blue coloration, the older he gets, the further back the blue goes.
I was kind of surprised when I saw this picture because my JD looks so different now! I'm excited to see what he looks like when he is matured.
I feed the tank Hikari Gold Pellets, Carnivore Pellets, Omega One Flakes, and sometimes other things like lettuce or algae wafers.

WOW! The first 2 look like hybrids, at least the 2nd one. It has the facial structure of a Geo.
I get what your saying. After looking closer I notice the tails are a bit different. The 2 dark ones seem longer and narrower and the light one is shorter and wider.
From my limited experience I have observed JDs change colour an awful lot. Either from changes in their environment or even just through developing with age.
A dark substrate, dark background, being boss of the tank and good quality food will bring out the best.

I dont buy the dark substrate being needed to make JD’s darken up. My JD tank has pool filter sand in it and my JD is dark. I think the most important things are dominance and not being stressed with good water and diets.
