Centrino787 Posted October 18, 2012 Report Share Posted October 18, 2012 I am thinking of getting an ebjd and am wondering if they are weaker? do i feed the normal pallets? will it get bullied by my con gt and salvini (all females)? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
critter_crazy Posted October 18, 2012 Report Share Posted October 18, 2012 I've been looking at getting one also and am wondering about it being a weaker strain than your usual JD :dunno: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fruju Posted October 18, 2012 Report Share Posted October 18, 2012 I think they are weaker out of personal experience. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
F15hguy Posted October 18, 2012 Report Share Posted October 18, 2012 they are a natural mutation which has been line bred so will have a more rduced genetic background, they are also smaller and slower growing than regulars as the gene for the blue is linked to runts ( :dunno: ho or why, but this is the main reason promoted for them not being found by commercial breeders earlier due to the culling of runts) but I don't think "weaker" by this definition will be anything to worry about as they are very tough little fish, its like saying 10mm plate steel is weaker than 11mm plate steel Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
critter_crazy Posted October 18, 2012 Report Share Posted October 18, 2012 Sounds good enough for me! :thup: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David R Posted October 19, 2012 Report Share Posted October 19, 2012 Agree with the above, but I'm not sure I'd recommend feeding pallets to any cichlid... (except maybe an uaru?) :digH: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
F15hguy Posted October 19, 2012 Report Share Posted October 19, 2012 I find my cichlids prefer chep pallets Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
