new ebjd showing his true nature

[bathawk]

I have now had my juvenile ebjd for five weeks he has put on a bit of girth . He is in a grow out tank with five yoyo loaches as he is way too small to put him in my main tank. Today I noticed him charging towards the loaches and ramming them so tomorrow I will move him to a bigger tank where he can grow out on his own. Looks like he is going to be a hand full.

Oh man he sounds like a handful indeed!

And they say ebjd’s are so mild mannered

my regular JD gets along fine with my group of yoyo. They sometimes pester him lol

 

[Backfromthedead]

Perhaps hes just testing his own abilities by picking on helpless yoyos lol.

yes on the day I bought him he within a couple opf hours he had chased the yoyo loaches out a cave I had made for the yoyo loaches.He is now in a grow out tank on his own.Yes the yoyo loaches do like to pester other fish

I have a little video of my ebjd he chased of my 5 yoyo loaches and now my leopard bush fish he is now alone in his grow out tank not even 2 months since I have had him but he is putting on some size seems to be growing quicker than the regular jd I had some years back

Ooh he is a bit of a butthead isn't he?! Mine is pretty chill. He/she doesn't bother the other fish, including my ctenopoma.
