My 75 gallon EBJD tank.

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
Oh man EB's are a pain in the ass... Their digestive system sucks and they can't handle protein... Greens for sure and they're small and grow really slow but I wouldn't feed them a lot... Mines almost 2 years old just got recovered from parasites, I feed him only every 3 days spirulina brine and cichlid excel... You should get rid of everything but a pair that forms then add 4-5 clown loaches and delhezi or some other poly... Tank looks sweet tho
 
4/5 aren't eating. Long lanky thin white poop. Trying JPC, mollys and fire mouth eating no issues.

the lesser looking one is of course eating well.

Nice setup. It's awesome and I think well thought out. I'm sure you're planning on feeding them more than just the molly fry, so you're good there. And once the Firemouth and EBJD's are big enough, I'm sure you know they'll likely eat the molly parents, but I think that's part of the beauty of your tank-it's the life cycle in progress lol. The only thing I would be sure to do- put some caves/stones/shelter. You will likely not see the fish out in the open all the time like you do now, but they'll be less stressed having a shelter to go into when they are stressed. And you will likely have to get rid of a few of the EBJD's or put a few into another tank. But I also hear EB's are hard to raise, so maybe overstocking them in the beginning may be the right thought. Other than that, you have a great setup. I'm jealous.
