I was at a pet store and an employee told me they get 2 feet. Im like, "lolwat". He claims he bred them, and had a male that big. Also says he's seen bigger ones at fish stores. Is he right or is this story fishy? He also says mine has a hollywood pattern and I have no idea what he's talking about.

I've never heard a of an ebjb getting that big... i would say 8 - 10 inches at the most. i can't help you with the "hollywood pattern" though... i've never once heard of that
 
lol i almost crapped myself laughing when you said the said 2 feet, they usually hit 8-10in but if conditions are good they can hit 12
 
Someone is trying to be Mr. know-it-all...lmao 2 feet my arse..more like 8-10 inches but wow what a idiot. :grinno:..
 
Lol I've always heard you were lucky to get 8 inches. I think he's crazy about the pattern thing though. I thought that they lost the patterns as they matured

yea patterns will fade as they get bigger, getting it to a foot is a blessing
 
He's full of it. Regular JD grows to an average of 8-10". EBJD grows an inch or two smaller. From what I've read, Hollywood pattern is a strain/breed that someone developed using selective breeding but I'm not 100%.
 
Yes Yes...Reg Jacks at most reach 10", not EBJD no way. Im sure there are freak chances in nature but having the Blue gene is already a hinder in their health and growth stability.
Hey, to some people 6" is a footlong I guess
