EBJD

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
Sorry but I don't agree... ebjd's get picked on a lot by most any fish and they are not aggressive at all so they get stressed out very easy... Firemouths can be very aggressive and will pick on their tank mates a lot... IMO I would not trust it, but I love my little guys to put them in harms way!!!! lol

Totally agree...Firemouths can be punks most of the time. And EBJ's will harass other EBJ's but that's about it...others will kill

Firemouths tend to be all bark and no bite. I raised and bred them for about two years and this was my observation of the species as a whole. Now that is not to say there aren't firemouths that are complete terrors (I did have some terrors of my own), but its pretty uncommon to find a firemouth that will bully its tankmate. That is where plenty of hiding space comes in. If the OP is concerned about it, they can get the EBJD(s) and grow them out a bit before adding firemouths that are 1/2 the current size of the EBJD(s).

Yes I will give you that, if the fire mouth is only 1/2 the size of the ebjd it may not pick on it too much (until it grows up too) a adult firemouth will kill a adult ebjd 95 % of the time... And yes I can assure you there are a few people out there with these same fish in a tank together and they do great together, but I am not lucky enough to be in that 5 %!!!! LOL.. I will put it to you this way, What works for me may not work for you, What works for you may not work for me, All you can do is try it and see what happens for you... I'm just saying IMO I would not even try to do it!!!!!!! GOOD LUCK WITH WITCH EVER WAY YOU DECIDE TO GO WITH THEM!!!
