EBJD breeding questions!

[Jakob]

When breeding EBJD to JD, do the sexes of the pair matter? Like is it better to have a female EBJD and a male JD or better to have a male EBJD and a female JD?

 

[Jakob]

This is what i know:
JDxJD=JD
JDxEBJD=BGJD
EBJDxEBJD=Nothing
EBJDx BGJD=EBJD

But what happens if you cross:
JDxBGJD=?
BGJDxBGJD=?

 

[flowerpower]

I think
BGJDxJD= 50% BGJD
BGJDxBGJD=25%EBJD,50%BGJD,25%JD

I also heard that most EBJD's tend to be male.
I may be wrong about some or all of this.

 

[Jakob]

Thanks. Anybody else?

Good stuff.

Its better to have a male EBJD and a regular female for two reasons:
1. A regular JD is likely to produce more eggs than an EBJD.
2. The pair is probably going to go through some rough courtship and since the EBJD tends to be more delicate, it is better to have a male EBJD as they are larger and stronger than the females. Make sure your JD female is not too big...she might destroy your ebjd male.

Very good point.

Thank you A LOT Sprungster, this is exactly what i was looking for.
I cant wait til i get the 125 frees up for my breeding project.

But what about this?
JDxBGJD=?
BGJDxBGJD=?

Did Flowerpower get it right?

ask nc_nutcase he knows.

sprungster made very good point, technically it doesnt matter (color ratio wise) but will have better success rate if you do it like he said, and flower power got the ratios right
