Electric Blue Jack Dempsey Breeding Project

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
Do u have a pic of ur female when she was young i like the red hue she has around the face.
 
Unfortunately I do not have any still photos of her.
They sexually matured at around 5 months, however, the coloration does take at least 6-8 months to fully develop so it is hard to tell how the fish will look like as an adult. I raised many fish to adulthood meaning: lots of tanks, food, water, electricity bills, etc. and then selected the best ones for breeding once I could actually see how they turned out.

I also added some Black Neon Tetra and Sterbai Corydoras to the EBJD fry tank..will see if it works out, I want to try and house them in the bigger tank later on. Can you spot a certain pattern on one of the young EBJD ? :D
