They are slow growers, but it's worth the wait. This guy's almost 3.
They can be such obnoxious jerks. You have to admire that.

Very nice FMs! I almost got FMs before I got my first little EBJD. If I ever get sick of my EBJDs I'll be getting some FMs!

Beautiful fish.. Nice deep colors.
I'd love to get an EBJD... Do you recon they won't mix with FMs?
For the first year they can shot up to 3 - 4 inches then slow down. Only the oldest fish attain their 6 inch status
Thanks, I was in the shop about 30mins studying them before buying six... The shop owner wasn't that impressed I was so particular about which ones I was picking. One specimen (that had a damaged dorsal fin was chosen purely because his reds seemed to carry on more up the cheeks than the other fish. He is also a lot thinner and runter but I'm thinking ahead. Its their children I want to raise. These ones are there as the initial breeding stock.
They are now being fed up and grown on to see how their colors develop etc.
Answer.. YES... EBJDs do mix with Firemouths 
This specimen... Male or Female could develop a lot of red in the cheeks.

That really red one looks promising. Though they all got good red on them.

Nice!
The FM I have with the extra red coloring and the damaged Dorsal seems to be constantly bullied, so I think I'll move him to his own tank and rear him on seperately... I really need to see where this little guy goes... he could poses some valuable Genes.

Is there a way to get fire mouths to flare their gills?
