They are hard to keep alive but not impossible. Sold all my breeders and fry yesterday to someone with a lot of cash in his pocket. Im out of the blue jack business.

They are hard to keep alive when small. I went through 2 small frys. Until I drove 40min to a lfs that keeps there fish in tip top health. I finally took someone's advice on here raising my 3rd ebjd in a established 10 gallon all alone. So far so good. Out of the 3 that I have had this one is actually eating pellets. No sign of ick like my other 2 had. The other 2 I had were in a established 120 gallon with 3 tinfoil barbs, 3 diamond scale barbs, 1 midas/red devil, 1 Jack Dempsey, 1 rainbow shark. Both ebjd we're the king of the tank until my 2nd one lip locked with my midas/red devil. I separated the ebjd but he died a week later from stress I think.
Now my 3rd is doing well isolated in a 10 gallon until he gets 2-3'. Hopefully this one pans out to be great.

I got 5 of them and started them in a 20 gallon with uv. Then when they got bigger moved them to a 55 gallon with uv. Now the 2 biggest ones are in my 125 gallon community tank and the 3 last ones will be ready for the 125 gallon in a week or to 
Had no problem with them. Raised them on flakes. Live black worms. Frozen bloodworms and pellets. Alle doing fine and grow perfectly

My electric blues are pretty tough. The tempeture is around 75, I have been slacking on water changes, I had a broken filter for a few weeks, I feed live blackworms, mixed frozen foods, hakari pellets and they survived over a week in a blackout were the tempeture dropped to about 45 degrees. I set the tank up next to an outlet that is controlled by the light switch. I run an extention cord which always gets knocked out.
