Sex my Blue Gold JD

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
What's the difference between a line bred and a hybrid?

Yes he is from Marc, today he is swimming alot more and actually fighting back when my Molly picks on him, He is a little shy but the Molly is the only other swimming fish so I am not sure yet how he is.

Do the females not have the long point on the dorsal fin?

Lineage: his parents are crosses between EBJD and Gold JD, they both carry the Blue genes and the gold genes, the chances of getting ones colored like him are 6%, the other 94% will all be Gold JD or EBJD. Marc says it only works if you don't inbreed. So the parents of the ones you want to get can not be from the same EBJD and Gold JD.

Sadly Marc won't be breeding them any more

The JD has only been in the tank for a day now, EBJD temperament is a lot less aggressive than regular JD so I doubt if he will eat my crabs, but I guess well find out. Plus he is only 3" atm so I don't think he is big enough to eat the crabs.
 
I have a mated pair of BGGG Dempseys I also got from Marc.This is the pair that will produce the Blue/Golds.They have mated 3 times now.I have 25 fry from 4 weeks ago,that was their second time spawning.The first I lost all the fry.They have laid eggs about 2 days ago again.Hope I can get this batch of fry to survive.

Apparently this guy is mating them too! I wonder why the first batch died, I may end up trying to get a female from you

No he is not, he recently posted a thread selling off almost all of his jacks, he is going to focus on breeding something else for a while. I just talked to him about all of this on Sunday, I got one of his last few of these ones, I do not know if he is keeping whatever's left.
