New here, but not new to fish

EBJDxEBJD doesn't seem to work. I've tried many times without success. You can get the eggs and wigglers, but the fry never seem to last to free swimming.

If you took the EBJD x JD, then you get 100% BGs. You can either breed one of the BG back to the EBJD (then you'd get 50% EBs) or cross sibling BGs to get to get 25% EBs.

Another great way to do it is to get a BG from another unrelated, pair and then cross BG x BG (BGxBG yields 25% EBs)

That was going to be one of the questions I asked you, the EBJD x EBJD, I read that it wasn’t possible but wanted to hear it from someone who actually tried.

I do plan to make my own BGJDs, I just haven’t decided if I will breed them back to the parent or to another unrelated EBJD. I might try breeding back to the parent as tank space is limited for me at the moment (not to mention actual living space haha)

Do you have a thread about your own breeding program?
