sounds easy enough, get a ebjd, breed it with a jd. take the hybrids and breed them with a ebjd.

lots of time involved though

It's easy, just EXTREMELY time consuming.
You could always spend a dope amount on a mature EBJD male so you dont have to grow him out.
The way i see is that you buy a 4-5" female JD.
Buy a 4.5"+ male EBJD.
Breed the two.
Sell fry. Keep the best looking female. grow them out to breeding size. (May take 14 months or so)
Breed female with the old EBJD.
Raise fry. Sell fry.
Continue breeding the orginal BGJDxEBJD pair.
make a wad of cash.

If you like Oscars, you could breed those. I definetly would Oscars are awesome parents.

 

[thefishguy7]

managuense or festae would be pretty cool

Frontosas are fun to breed.

Milkman, I think you should breed Jaguars OR Oscars.
In fact, I have a male Jag you can have!

OR, I have a breeding pair of Oscars you can have. My son is moving AGAIN and has to find a home for his Oscars. They are both real pretty and really colorful.
He has to find a home before Dec. 1 for them.

Parachromis Festae.

OR

Here's how to produce Adult EBJDs starting with eggs (Theoreticaly, unless you are already breeding them). For each step you can skip, you save about 12-14+ months, so the whole process takes about 3-1/2 years.

JD = Regular Jack Dempsey
BGJD = Blue Genotype (Regular Phenotype) Jack Dempsey
EBJD = Electric Blue Jack Dempsey

Step 1) EBJD X JD = 100% BGJDs

Step 2) BGJD X EBJD = 50% BGJDs and 50% EBJDs

3) note: EBJD X EBJD = 100% fatal (No fry survive, assuming any eggs hatch at all).

Bottom line is that to actually produce EBJDs, you need an EBJD to spawn with a BGJD. This is why most breeders are unwilling to sell BGJDs. If you pair one with a EBJD, you can save years of breeding, feeding and rearing time.

festae aren't classified under parachromis for the record. --- cichlasoma

my vote is for Odo's- (hate people who call them black nasties), or umbriferium's

Thanks for correcting.
Did I hear Milkman say he was going to make it into a cichlid community??!

I'd go Jags or Green Terrors. Those are both some beautiful fish.
