Title: Electric Blue Jack Dempsey
Post by: four_by_ken on February 13, 2013, 04:59:11 PM
So, what can you tell me about them?

The electric blue part is new to me.

My brother is picking up two little ones.

they are much more timid then normal jds.  They are not very hardy and grow so painfully slow its unreal.  They are general wimps when growing and hide when put with other fish larger then them.  To breed them you need a blue gene regular jd and an ebjd.  I believe the males are sterile most of the time.  Some times they grow up and are very ugly,  I have seen some incredible looking ones.

What else would you like to know?

also would like to add how weak they are when small. Sometimes they'll die off for No apparent reason. 
Look through my Facebook friend list & find Joseph Frendo , he knows all there is about them & can tell you everything you'd ever want to know.

I have 2 of them and 1 is 5" and i have had him from 2" to today 5" and yes if they are less then 3" there is a chance that they won't make it and i have 1 in my planted tank with pleco and 4 barbs they are very timid and weak. And if you want to breed them i wouldn't bother it too hard.

Thanks for all the info.  Turns out he didnt buy them yet.

I am thinking I may convince him to try something else instead.
