New here, but not new to fish

[Niki_up]

I just wanted to hello to everyone and to introduce myself.

Ive kept fish for approximately 10 years on and off and currently im raising 3 ebjd’s in hopes of getting a male to see if I can eventually breed him. I do not have high hopes just something for me to set as a “goal”.

Has anyone on here successfully breed one?

Also here is a pic of my tank and fish;

Welcome and nice tank!

Thank you, I expect to have to change my tank as they grow as I read they enjoy shredding plants.

Hi there! I've been breeding these EBJDs since 2007. Would be glad to help!

Nice tank!

..and yes, they love to tear up plants.

Do you still breed them?

I know this is way down the road for me, but once you have an Ebjd and a regular jd that breed, you keep some of the bgjd’s too breed back to an Ebjd. Do you have another Ebjd that you breed your bgjd’s to, or do you breed the bgjd’s back to the Ebjd parent?

Awe poor blues, your buddy is lucky!

From what I understand not too many fish work long term with jags!!!
