Growing quickly for a ebjd

Nice Endo. Hopefully he'll be stunner.

I just received my friends ebjd that's about the same size as the one I am growing out in my 10 gallon. He's in a 55 gallon with a geo he also gave me. My friend didn't have the time to take care of it so I he gave me the 55 gallon filter, tank and heater and substrate.

Endo, should I take my ebjd that's in my 10 gallon and throw him in the 55 with the other ebjd I got from my friend? Mines a little bigger but not by much. I have a 30 gallon that has a ebjd that I just picked up 3 weeks ago but he's smaller. So in the 30 gallon I have the ebjd, killie, small pleco and my small Dovii that I have in a breeder net. The dovii is getting to big for the breeder net and I was going to throw him in the 10 by himself and take the ebjd that I've been growing out for 3 months. Put him either the 30 with the small ebjd or the 55 with the other ebjd and geo. The geo is bigger but doesn't fight with ebjd. The ebjd punks the geo. What would be better?

I found that ebjd in a group of 4 or 6 or more are more active just cause wen it comes to aggression one ebjd cant be singled out mainly cause there are to many ebjd available which causes confusion. Worked wen i first started raising ebjds and was an advice from bluejackscanada and rickscics on youtube

Firstly, the dovii will need ample swimming space much bigger than that of a 10 gallon; even as a juvy, that can stunt his growth.
As in regards of the blues, my advice is always to raise them solitary or with peaceful fish. If the tank is big enough (55g min.) you can raise a blue with other blues so that they have hiding places if needed.
Remember, blues stress very easily and thats what lowers their immune system. Stress can happen by even being chased by another blue, and I wouldn't take that chance unless your blue has a strong genetic line.
The first time I raised ebjds was in a group of 6 blues in 60 gallon, and quickly lost them one by one due to Swim bladder disorder caused by stress of the dominant blue I had in the tank.
If the blue you have is not aggressive towards the other one, then you can try raising them together.

However with my experience, I will and only raise ebjd by themselves.
This is the most efficient way to a healthy life and quick growth (my blue posted above grew that much in just 2 weeks; Fed only flakes and raised solitary in a 40b with clean water)

Endo,

Long time no speek. I am assuming you sold that nice EBJD you picked up off of Rick. I recently got rid of all my EBJD and BG stock as I was making room for my increasing Discus addiction. I would like to add some input after reading through the thread. I have raised somewhere between 100 and 150 EBJD in the past two and a half years, and almost always have raised them with BGJD. And, not one time have I ever had an issue with aggression between a Blue Gene and EBJD. I will tell anyone who wants to breed that Blue Genes will pair together off before an EBJD and a BG will. The best way is to raise a group of Blue Genes and at around 3 inches vent the females and move them in with EBJD stock. From my own personal experience I have found that about 85 percent of my EBJD have been males. And, several other breeders I have talked with have given me similar numbers. Rick Coye has not had any of his Blues breed in going on two years now as his males have gotten old. Richard Brice is a good breeder out of New York for Blue Genes and I have had mixed results with his EBJD. From my experience it is best to raise EBJD in groups of 10 or more. I have had as many as 50 grow outs in the same tank and I do not feed pellets. I feed Angels Plus Beef Heart Flake, Immune Booster Flake, High Pro Growth Flake, and once a week Metro Flakes and a de-wormer Flake once or twice a month. The only frozen foods I will use are Hikari Bloodworm, and Hikari brine shrimp. The thing about it is 10 different people have 10 different ways of raising there Blues, but at the end of the day its all about finding a solid breeder who has some stronger genetics. I hate that Rick doesn't breed anymore.

deuxe,

Breeder out of N.Y., he often sells on aquabid. I have gotten some nice hardy BGJD from him but very mixed results with his EBJD. He is a good honest guy though, and I would do business with him again. If you ask him upfront how the quality of the stock is, he will give you an honest answer. Let me know if you want his email.
