its a cross between a gold jack and a blue jack. Fairly complicated breeding process to achieve and even then less than 10% of the spawn will display a mix of the gold and blue.
my be i didnt explain this right this was a baby from a gold jack dempsey and a electric blue jack dempsey when he was a baby he looked a lot different i was hoping to breed him with his sister which they have laid eggs once
I'm not totally sure but I don't think you will have any viable offspring from a spawn from 2 ebjd x gold cross. Maybe though. I thought this cross was only bred from two fish who carry the genetics for both blue and gold recessively? What breeder did you get it from?discuskent;5114910; said:

Gold JDs(Not Gold EBJD) are a leucistic strain.
They just lack the pigment of a normal JD.
Think pink convicts, they're the same a regular cons except they're leucistic.
Leucism/Leucicstic is not the same as Albinism/Albino.
Theres no such thing as as GoldEBJD.discuskent;5114910; said:
Essentially what you have here is a "Blue Gene" JD.
Most would not use these as breeders even if it carries the "blue gene"
You don't get EBJD from breeding 2 EBJDs.
You need to breed a EBJD with a regular JD or a "Blue gene" JD.
Most of the fry will turn out "Blue gene" & about 25% might be EBJD.
So crossing a gold jd to a EBJD is essentially the same.
You'd only be washing out any blue.
This is why you see a lot of cheaper EBJD's that are more green then blue.
Also another reason why EBJD'a are so weak(immune system) compared to a JD.
Selective breeding made this fish very weak.
Just my $0.02/ from what I've gathered.
^ There is a gold x blue cross and it does display traits from both of these line bred color strains of jd. You do not get them from breeding ebjd x gold though.
