If a flowerhorn and an EBJD were bred together, if the subsequent offspring were bred together would any of the offspring get the EBJD colouring seeing as EBJD is a recessive trait.
EBJD x Flowerhorn
- Thread starter Connor AND Liam
- Start date
I dont think anyone crossed a EBJD with a Flowerhorn yet , i cant be wrong. Now as far as the blue gene , I think it would be passed but a blue gene female would has to be bred to another EBJD in order for it can trigger it out or many gens of repeating this process.
it would look cool none the less. I haven't even heard of a regular jack dempsy and a flowerhorn together
hey guys, i am currently trying this....i am using a female from convict x kirin parrot and male ebjd.
if they dont pair off ill use a gm female i have with alot of red on her,but need to wait til he gets bigger.
will keep u posted.

i think you would have to bred them just like you would for EBJDs. i think the genes would carry over in some sort of manor, and thus would be possible to bring back out with generations of line breeding.
I posted a similar question on cichlid-forum and many said the gene wouldn't transfer over outside of the jack species

irregardless of what is said on the other thread. i believe it could be possible unless someone can "prove" me wrong with their own experiments and not just a educated guess.
once you breed a JD to a flowerhorn. the results will also have JD genes, right? this mutant genes only mutates within JD genes, right?
why couldn't it be possible?
each time you cross this "flowerhornxJD back to either it's siblings or unrelated fish also containing JD genes wouldn't that be strengthening those JD genes within said hybrid? and thus making the "possibility" for this genes to mutate more possible in theory.
and no it shouldn't be taken the other way around. because it simply is just a educated guess. i'm highly doubtful that any concrete research or effort has been made by geneticist for the efforts of creating this such fish.
there are even very strong arguments about the EBJD being a hybrid itself.

I would have to agree with fishfreak317.
I am not a genenist but I think this is possible. The blue color could be a recessive gen, and it would take two recessive gen for the trait to show up.

Take halfblack angels as an example. It take two copies for it to show up. I know this has nothing to do with cross breeding, but the same rules should apply to us cross breeders.
