fatpuffer Posted July 29, 2009 Author Report Share Posted July 29, 2009 Nice! Does he have any deformities or "beakface"? I would love to get people breeding this fish here in Alberta. Js Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bandi Posted July 29, 2009 Report Share Posted July 29, 2009 (edited) Nice! Does he have any deformities or "beakface"? I would love to get people breeding this fish here in Alberta.Js I don't think he has deformities...what is beakface? I'll look for it. How big is your EBJD...I am curious to know at what size they can breed at. Edited July 29, 2009 by guzookeeper Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fatpuffer Posted July 30, 2009 Author Report Share Posted July 30, 2009 rED_O: Blue gene JD looks just like any regular JD. Some breeders say that it has more blue spangles but I have seen some that looks just regular JD. THe only difference is that they carry the blue gene so when you breed to blue gene together, you get roughly 25 percent EBJD and if you breed the blue gene with ebjd, you get 50 percent ebjd. guzoo: beakface is when the the ebjd looks like it has a snout...elongated face is the best description I can think of.

fatpuffer Posted July 30, 2009 Author Report Share Posted July 30, 2009 The fry are getting bigger. They are currently eating bbs (frozen) and powdered NLS. When do ppl. start culling fry? Anybody else have EBJDs out there? Js Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anybody else have EBJDs out there? Js I would grow them out till you can separate males and females then keep the strongest females for breeding with other EBs.

Bandi Posted August 3, 2009 Report Share Posted August 3, 2009 Hey I was just wondering if the EB was a sex linked gene and by that I mean, can you have females exhibiting the electric blue...or are they always just carriers? I hear you talk about keeping the female blue genes and breeding them to male EBJDs, but what about breeding the male blue genes and matching them up with female EBJDs? Just wanted some feedback on that concept. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fatpuffer Posted August 6, 2009 Author Report Share Posted August 6, 2009 Hey all! I am back at home. The trip was cut very short. Anyways...good news bad news. Good news...the fry are getting bigger! Bad news...I am down to about a quarter of the amount of fry. Unfortunately, they were not fed daily so only the strongest and fittest survived.
