Lets answer this question once and for all .....

Can you breed a Electric Blue Jack Dempsey to a different fish to create Hybrids ?

Also is there any photo documenation to prove that a EBJD can be crossed to a something other than a JD ?

Lets answer this once and for all ....
 
If a JD can cross to another fish than an EBJD can cross with it. But I dont know if the EB strain would show up in the offspring.
 
no my salviniXfiremouth pair up with my EBJD and lay egg for him but he just ate them.
 
I would think an EBJD could x with an fish that a regular JD could x with, only there might be a higher degree of difficulty . . .

my own EBJD made some attempts with a convict, but nothing ever came of it, but it may just have been because it was immature
 
they can't pair up with another cichlid species and make babies. it hard to breed EBJD with a regular JD and have baby EBJD's.

That is wrong. Just because your ebjd ate 1 batch of eggs instead of fertilizing them doesn't conclude anything. I believe as the other said an ebjd should be able to reproduce with anything that a normal jack dempsey could reproduce with. It might be difficult to find a fertile ebjd but I believe they can reproduce. If it hasn't been done already I'm sure it will happen eventually. Give this thread some time for people to find it and you will be amazed with what you see. :cheers:
 
I vote someone needs to create a Electric blue Dovii. Ive seen Jack Doviis befor so i know they can breed. If you bred the offspring back with the ebjd the blue gene may be carried. It would take alot of trial and error but im sure its possible.
 
i just hate to make something that all ready nice in to some that might become not nice. That all. Just my opinion. :)
 
I would only imagine what a EBJD can do if breed correctly and try to lock in the blue gene towards another fish.

I love the EBJD , Frontosa & HRP Blueish color .... just awesome fish
