I think they would be fine, mine were all raised in tanks smaller than 40 gallons. My biggest male is over 6 inches i got him may last year hes about 6 and a half inches and is fertile i have him divided with a regular female jack will be putting them together soon. Hoping for some nice blue gene jacks from this guy.
I would not do tiger barbs EBJD stress out easily. I had mine with cherry barbs and they did great cherry barbs are allot less nippy. The most common death I have seen online and this has been my experience is they get stressed out and stop eating then die for no apparent reason. Keeping them alone or with smaller fish like tetras or cherry barbs would be good. They are not aggressive at all. Two in a 40 will be fine as they grow slower and stay smaller than other JD's
Also wanted to add in my experience they typically do better in a a pair or group and kept as a species only tank or with smaller fish. I never had problems until I added them with other cichlids.

I kept mine with regular jacks huge plecos and even a small adonis who would chase my small female at feeding time and i havent had one EBJD die. The thing is with all mine i took my time and picked the ones i wanted out of the tanks. Im lucky because my local fish stores bring in a lot of EBJDs at one time. Alot of people will buy anything and bring home poor examples of EBJDs then try to define the breed from their experience. Some people dont have a option to choose so they roll the dice me myself i wouldnt do this i would rather order from a solid breeder online before i bought the only little skittish EBJD sitting at the local fish store. As a person who has had a lot of success with these fish and watching and talking to successful breeders when you start with the right stock these fish are just as healthy and durable as regular jacks.

Got these from tarmack a little over a month ago. They were 1.5 inches and now they are around 2.5 inches. Feeding beef flakes and brine shrimp, trying to ease them into pellets. Fed 4 times a day and are housed with electric blue acaras

I guess I swap out the tiger barbs for black ruby barbs.
Do you guys know of any reputable breeders ?
