Fmxmatt Posted September 25, 2011 Report Share Posted September 25, 2011 So just when I was about to look into selling my Fish as I was losing interest (and plan to do a Marine tank again next year) the female JD has laid some eggs! Be interesting to see if they live, Daddy is an EBJD so these will have the blue gene in them. (Old pic but he hasn't changed too much) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ryanjury Posted September 25, 2011 Report Share Posted September 25, 2011 Awesome, looking good.. Looks like you will have to hang onto the fish and tank for a while longer, grow these fry out and put them back to the blue dad to get some blue babies Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or is that not an issue? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Navarre Posted September 25, 2011 Report Share Posted September 25, 2011 once you have babies I will rasie them for you or give me rocks with eggs on now if you like Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ryanjury Posted September 25, 2011 Report Share Posted September 25, 2011 Aren't they hard enough to keep as is let alone inbreeding? Or is that not an issue? How else are you going to get electric blue babies? I guess you can breed brother to sister from the same batch or to another "unrelated" electric blue male.. But either way the injection of the non electric blue female into the blood line would be good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rcon021 Posted September 25, 2011 Report Share Posted September 25, 2011 Apparently you are not ment to put two EBJD together. I went down this track 4/5 years ago Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fmxmatt Posted September 25, 2011 Author Report Share Posted September 25, 2011 Female is JD, Male is EBJD I figured if you bred JD with Blue Gene with EBJD you'd get a few out of it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rcon021 Posted September 25, 2011 Report Share Posted September 25, 2011 No you will get 100% normals that carry the gene Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaxxnz Posted September 25, 2011 Report Share Posted September 25, 2011 congrat man.. :happy1: i am you got at less 40% of EBJD.. the female JD you got would be BGJD, 100% pure Jd are very uncommon these day i think.. i would remove the parent straight away once they eggs are hatch.. good fiteration is the key for thses guys.. uv filter would help them heaps due to their hybrid Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
