BGGGJD x BGGGJD one more time

[rmcder]

Not at all. How else are you going to learn. Ok here we go.

BGJD= is a regular Jack Dempsey, that carries the electric blue Jack dempsey gene.

EBJD= stands for Electric Blue Jack Dempsey, the blue color morph of the regular Jack Dempsey

Gold Jack Dempsey= is the gold color morph of the regular Jack Dempsey

GGJD= is a regular looking Jack Dempsey, that carries the gold gene.

BGGGJD= is a regular looking Jack Dempsey, that carries both the Electric Blue gene, And the gold gene.

Platinum EBJD= displays both the gold traits, And the Electric Blue traits.

I hope this answers your question

Yep... I wasn't expecting the combination. How is this combination produced - gjd x ebjd?

That's one way. That would produce bgggjd's.

It looks like I have lost both tanks of fry
Possibly velvet. I just got done working my long weekend (36hrs), And just got home.
There are only a few left, And they are not looking so hot.
These were my first experiences at raising fry without the parent
And this only proves to me the importance of the parental roles in fry development.

In the next couple days, I'm setting up 3 separate breeding tanks for my BGGGs,
So I can leave them with the parents.

Sorry to hear about your losses. I hope you succeed in growing out future spawns.
I just sent a member/friend 24x fry from one of my BGGG x BGGG spawns. The fry are a mix of all types & carry both blue/ gold genes.

Thanks Jill

But there is a bright side. My largest pair, (4" female and 5" male)Were starting to spawn again.
So I moved them to there own tank. Yes, It may have interrupted the spawning.
But it shouldn't take long to get back to business. This way, They can raise the fry to a safe point.
Tomorrow, I will set up the other two pairs.

You're welcome Spike
I'm sure you'll get your project moving along better once all the tanks are set up.
Here's a few pics from some of my BGGG x BGGG to show you what you have to look forward to.
