I've had mine for a little over a year and its doing well however I've read many accounts on here of them turning black and dying

I have two and they're pretty strong but they have a reputation for being pretty fragile fish.

I have heard many go this way, though never experienced it myself

A lot of hybrids are fragile. Yeah they are nice looking but there always seem to be a draw back to hybrids. Maybe the gods are trying to tell us something.

I dont think EBJD are hybrids. But in nature, more often genetic morphism causes a lot of problems for the individual species. Albinoism, causes bad vision and a number of health problems even for humans.

EBJD aren't hybrids, however they are mostly inbred to all heck and extremely weak.

There are some good strains of EBJD out there that are harder to find and the fish are strong and healthy.
