pat williamson Posted November 27, 2011 Share Posted November 27, 2011 tropical fish hobbyist magazine has run 2 or 3 articles on them over the last 18 months or so including their supposed history and breeding techniques in the latest edition. Anyone really interested I recommend a read , regards Pat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mmarcom Posted December 24, 2011 Share Posted December 24, 2011 is it true that EB dempseys are alot more aggressive then the norm? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
E4G13M4N Posted December 24, 2011 Share Posted December 24, 2011 EB dempseys are not a hybrid they are a colour morph carrying the blue gene.I havnt found them to be more agressive than normals, in fact they would probably be more on the less agressive from the ones i have had,slower growing and can be a bit more touchy to water quality compared to the normals maybe..

killiguy Posted December 26, 2011 Author Share Posted December 26, 2011 These guys are now 5 weeks old.The latest TFH magazine had an article on them and mentioned the EB fish are lighter than the normals as the first sign.This is the case in my fish and funnily enough the lights tend to hang around with the lights and vice versaNormalEB ??There is no major size discrepancy yetRe aggression my big male is very nonaggression he has a tiny female with him at the moment and she rules the roost.I dont think they would do well with very aggressive cichlid Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Link2Hell Posted December 29, 2011 Share Posted December 29, 2011 Nice thread killiguyhave a look in the tangent section and down load the Amazonas magit has interest notes on EBJDarticle states he has reduced EB fry if temp is over 25*C when raising themseems they don't go blue at higher tempsit may help increase the EB fry production for you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

killiguy Posted January 19, 2012 Author Share Posted January 19, 2012 Ive come the conclusion the above photos do not represent EB and normals (sorry about that)There are 6 or so that are much smaller than the rest and intensely silver;6 out of 100.Ive separated these and will photograph them when they settle in.Size seems to be the main differentiating factor Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
killiguy Posted February 22, 2012 Author Share Posted February 22, 2012 Im not sure about the morality of raising these fish.Out of the 100 or so fry only 6 are EB, the rest fed to my P.polleniI have anothr batch growing up.The fry are very shy and difficult to photograph but below are some,the blue seems to wash out in the photos Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vicdan Posted February 22, 2012 Share Posted February 22, 2012 Hey Killieguy, congrats on the EB's! are you looking at selling some off?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
killiguy Posted February 23, 2012 Author Share Posted February 23, 2012 Eventually I will,although I got them from John Cousins down here and will give them back to him once he has reestablished his fish room(if he wants them that is).I have no particular love of these fish but felt obligated to follow it through given all the work Cuz put in to get splits Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
