Answer: Jack Dempsey

The Jack Dempsey is a rather beautiful fish that is coloured blue with darker spots when in peak condition. You could even say it's black and blue all over? It's an aggressive fish, does not socialise well, and will kill or eat fish smaller than itself. As far as fish goes, however, the Jack Dempsey actually has a personality and can learn to recognise its caretaker, often jumping up out of the water to gain attention or to receive special treats. Does well in an aquarium, but not in a boxing ring.
