EBJD Pair
- Thread starter ShadowP
- Start date
The blue genes are the juvies pic'd in the thread... 10 weeks today (21 Jul 15) and by best estimates will have a georgous 2 or 3 of the largest males available to pair with Joy (female in front on thread starter pic) in about 2 1/2 to 3 more months if reports of breeding as early as 3 to 3.5 mo old are accurate.
Right now I'm more interested in what is really going on with these color morphs coming from Pride & Cleopatra... I've not seen anything like it. some (though very few) are almost a uniform light powder gold from mid operculum to caudal peduncle and most pronounced around the mid body eyespot and have a very sparse scattering of light metallic green spangles.
I have not yet figured out how to photograh this since I've only had this camera a few days. The gold is much like a woman's eye shadow to include the sheen. All the pics I've taken wash out as a super light grey almost as if the color is translucent and the source is from light refraction only. I'll figure it out eventually and post the pics. Photography was never my strong suit, though straight A's in art help with setting perspective, proportion, and balance.
It's all these buttons and settings, and term abbreviations I'm still learning, let alone I'm still learning what the different settings are singularly and in combination in addition to the facts of what they mean and do.

If I can get a 3" female to successfully pair and spawn with a 7.5" male
, I think I can get a 3" male to pair and spawn with a 6" female.
Sorry... just reread and realized your question could be taken several ways.
Ready for Joy... about 2 months.
Ready for sale... about 3 months if everything goes well with this current spawn.
Getting better with new camera, but flash still washing out the color. I'll figure out what I'm doing wrong yet, but in the mean time...
Here's a few.
All at only 10 weeks (and a day)

I think there's nearly 1000 fry in there
Time to set up my two 75s and may need to buy two more. That DIY stacked 180 gallon tanks stand video was really great timing. 
Thanks... much appreciated.
Hoping everyone who wants them may also have them soon. Planning on selling/shipping in groups of 4 only (2 larger fry & 2 smaller fry per) (should help get males and females evenly distributed). Business particulars need to be hashed out first. Lots of work to do, including finding oxygen source for shipping... electrolysis of water would work, but not sure if production quantity would be sufficient.
