Well, according to the picture you posted, there is a normal jack dempsey being kept in the same tank and I would not classify that as a "non-aggressive" fish. In fact, I have seen/heard many blues being killed by jacks as once they get older, they live up to the boxer's name and became fairly territorial and aggressive.
Now EBJDs will defend themselves to a certain point, but that right there is unnecessary stress to the blue that can lower his already weak immune system and cause them to bloat; not mentioning how delicate their scales are either. They are hybrids after all.

As juvies, sure they can be kept with certain fish, even cihlids, but it depends on which ones and for how long. Its a big chance to take on an expensive fish like this, and the only way I have raised my previous ones into adulthood, was keeping them solitary.



I don't mean to start a debate, but first off, EBJD's are NOT technically hybrids in the true sense. Also, your comment about the "regular/wild-type" JD would be completely correct in a normal situation. That specific fish although is "blue gene" carrier in which I plan on breeding with one of the 3 EBJD's in the tank. Yet still, a very close eye needs to be kept on her.
