My 75g Setup

skeeb211, since you are pretty much going with the EBJD's then you need to build the other tankmates around them. They are very sensitive to parasites, die easily, and are slow growing. First you have to find healthy good quality EBJD's to start with. I would get a group of 5 and keep them and a couple of bristlenose plecos for a few months. Eventually you will probably have to sell off 3 of the EBJD's if all of them live but that is unlikely. Once they get to 3.5-4.5" which will take some time then look into adding tankmates. Once EBJD's are a decent size they are not that wimpy and can be kept with a variety of tankmates. I keep mine with anything from Geophagus Steiny's to some of the larger Vieja's. In a 75g a pair of EBJD's and a group of 6 steiny's would be a pretty good looking tank and mix of fish. At least in my opinion. Everyones tastes are a little different though.

If you do the ebjd, you should wait to get other tankmate, they are known to get internal parasites and can be easily stress, and die. you could try a couple keyholes, if you are dying to put something with them at first. Or what you could do is a pair of BGJD, so then you can have your own EBJD
once they breed, that is what i am doing, plus i am super picky about my EBJD.
Correct me if I am wrong, but you are not looking to breed ebjd's? If so, then I wouldn't worry about getting bgjd's and what not. jgentry had the best suggestion I think. Once the ebjd's have some good size, then just play the mix n match game to see what works out and what you like the looks of.
yea well i shoot my mossberg pump 12gauge at ur tank once ur red tail is gone what does that have to do with anything no body here said cichlids are just the most hardcore of them all or said they would slay a red tail anxious to post maybe?robbryan;3940886; said:
