Breeding Female EBJDxMale BG?

[Chidori Noodlez]

Was wondering why people always say get a male EB and a BG Female. Will it not work the other way,is it problematic i.e. health, fry don't survive? just wondering cause I haven't read any reason on why not to do it. Thanks For Info...

It's just because of the aggression. EBJDs tends to be less aggressive than BGJDs, and females tends to be less aggressive than males. Given that, a female EBJD most likely would be super mellow compared to a male BGJD and be beat to death. Conversely, a female BGJD and a male EBJD would most likely be similar in temperament and work better. Of course each fish is different, but generally that's the case.

There are two reasons for this in my opinion. The first and most significant is the one already stated. The second reason is that there are very few female EBJD's. They do happen, but in general a very large percentage of EB's are male. So it is a pretty good assumption any EB you have is a male and you are looking to find a female for it. Female EB's do happen, but they are very infrequent.

Now that my friend is interesting.... I wonder why and if it has something to do with the blue gene as the colorful in species are usually male and since that's what we are breeding for if it is like an automatic... you know like how a male cardinal is bright red and the female dusty red.. and some how the genetic code gets messed up or mixed up and throws a female with the male color gene....hmmmm wish i'd listened in science class...lol
