Yeah. They do have some odd patterns. lol

I was told that I won't be able to tell which fry are electric blue until they are 6 weeks old.

Some of the fry even look like they might turn gold...

Who told you these parents were BGJD? I see none that have any blue on them. The blues should be visible by now or very soon if any were EBJD's.

I purchased them from a Vendor here on MFk.

It is impossible to tell which fry are blue gene until they get 1.5-2". ( that is what the ebjd forum told me as well as multiple breeders.

They are not going to show any blue right now.. I mean, they are only 2 weeks old.

If any of the fry are ebjd, they will start to show their color once they get 6 weeks old.
 
UPDATE VIDEO: ( taken earlier today)

The pair is due to spawn again any day now. I noticed that they started acting aggressive to the fry (even killed a few) so I moved the babies to a different tank.

I see at least 4 in the first pic that are EBJD! I've raised thousands of them, so I guess I have a good eye.

That is GREAT. :D

I am also trying my hands at breeding fh's now. If that doesn't work out, then I am def. going to get a group of eb fry from you to growout.

I had a 6"-8" ebjd male a few months ago, but he didn't make it due to my tank overheating. :(
 
Aces my blue genes also spawned tonight! How are yours doing?

Congrats on the spawn!!! :D

My bgjd pair is doing great. Both their tubes dropped last night, so another spawn is on it's way.
