EBJD are more laid back than JD. Atleast in my experience. When i first introduced the discus, they EBJD was scared $hitle$$. Kept swimming to the top of the tank, but ever since he has been fine. Every now and then he will intimidate them with bright color or flared fins, but he wont hurt them. My heckel is semi aggressive too, prolly cuz its prolly more like 6.5" not 6.

PS: The majority of the black on my sand is the last of the carbon I have yet to scoop out that my Fx5 shot out, after a 24 hour restart. I have since replaced the nylon that carbon was in, no more hole. haha
 
Looks nice.
 
Nope, Ive had so many other bills and such, the final piece of my puzzle(male hystrix) has been put on the back burner. I need another Fx5 first as well.
