EBGD First Spawn - Advice?

[chrismissfarm]

Hey everybody. I have been fortunate enough to have a pair of EBGD spawn for the first time. I purchased 6 of them when they were about an inch long and raised them together. These two just paired off naturally. I can tell there are some eggs that aren't fertilized because they're still white but so far the majority looks good. This is day 3 so I assume the female will be moving the wigglers to a pit.

I know the quality of the photo isn't great. This was the eggs on day 1 . Substrate is filtered pool sand.

Those are not ebjd. Maybe bgjd.

not EBJD, if they carry the blue gene you will be 25% EBJD, they grow a lot slower than the others in the spawn and you will need to separate them ASAP or their siblings will kill them

It says ebgd not Ebjd meaning electric blue gene Dempsey I'm assuming. Just another way to say bgjd

My fish are blue gene jack dempseys. I didn't mean that they were electric blues. She just moved the eggs out of the clay pot this evening. I will watch closely when they become free swimmers and separate as soon as possible.

I just missread the post. Im always used to seeing Blue genes listed as BGJD, I had a pair of BGJD lay on friday as well. Im also in Tennessee. Congrads on your spawn.

Thanks Steve. Good luck with your spawn as well. So far so good. They're in the pit and I can see movement so I'm hopeful.
