Baby EBJD tankmate suggestion

[Tapenoon]

Picked up this lil guy at the LFS today, set me back 40 bucks! Anyhow he is all alone in a 20g i had setup for some baby severums i grew out, i want to add some movement to the tank but nothing that would stress the lil guy out. I was thinking mayb a small school of cardinal tetras or something, I'm looking for suggestions. Thanks =)

You could do cardinals or any other similar non fin-nipping tetra. Maybe if they're available, you could do a couple threadfin rainbows

any other suggestions?

Mollies work well and the ebjd will keep the molly population in check.

Some small geos would work okay with him some nice Cory cats I love sterbai have about 15 in my tank and they are awesome um pictus cats, tinfoil barbs about 2 inches, maybe a fancy pleco or 2 , small clown loaches , repheal catfish things along those lines I would say but keep in mind that you will def need a upgrade lol

I thought cardinal tetra would be cool with my ebjd when he was that small too. He killed 12 of them and they were large over night. I now keep my juvi ebjd with 4 types of geo 3 kinds of sevrum a larger blue acra a large blood parrot 2 rainbow cichlids a firemout and clown and yoyo loaches.

It stinks too because they grow super slow I'm already moving sevrums out I bought smaller and after the ebjd I fear he will be in the grow out forever.

I would add nothing. Ebjd can be as hardy as the reg JD or very weak ans susceptible to parasites at a young age. Unless you qt the fish first I wouldn't risk it, especially when you paid $40 for one!

Someone suggested various catfish, I gotta disagree. Ebjd grow super slow, not ling until those cats will swallow him up! Id keep him alone a few weeks, make sure he's eating and such, then add 30 feeder guppies so he can munch them at will!
