Yeah... you probably don't want convicts as dithers, because they can pair up with your midas/jd.
Anyways besides that, I dunno. XD How I breed mine is to toss them together and tada. Though I usually get smaller/younger specimens to make it less likely stuff'd get killed.

yea i thought so to but i think the cons
been in tank for quite some time still only 1inch lol...but yea thts why i didnt wait any longer or my midas will start killing anything thrown in with him...also thought it was time since hes making ditches everywhere... fed them each an earth worm see if tht starts anything

Well digging pits is good. I would recommend tossing them in together to see what happens. If it gets bad THEN try the divider route.

what i do use dithers. i live in the mid Atlantic region so what i do is go to local pond and catch sunfish and blugills of different sizes an use them i have found that thees fish work very well do to the fish that they have good size and r strong. i will quarantine for two weeks first. i keep a small school of them on hand just for this sort of thing. and do daily water changes
Don't. Know wat they are but there very sstrong on the blue about 1/4 of the fry came out ebjd..

BGJD x BGJD parents it is then.
Assuming you got her at random, there's a 1/3rd chance that she's just a normal JD, and 2/3rd chance that she's a BGJD.
