Hi
(NO) JD's won't breed indefinitely, but your chances are better if you remove the bully. Also how big is the community tank & what other fish do you have with them. The more information you provide the better members can help you.

Good luck with this project... I love JD's

Like I said before (Remove the bully) & see if the JD's pair up. But the bigger JD isn't the only problem. You have a pretty aggressive group of tank mates. They all sound great, but will definitely outgrow & kill your JD's. I would move the 2x JD's into a 40 or 60 Gallon breeder & leave the bigger tank alone.
