has any1 had any experience with the electric blue jack dempsey or know anything of it? im thinking about getting 1 or 2 for the new tank im setting up. ive heard they are less aggressive the the normal jds and dont grow as big. i may keep just the 2 jds with no other tankmates because im not sure of their behavior. im thinking they are about as aggressive as an oscar. but i dont think i want to risk lossing fish, mainly the electric blue....because they are expensive. i know most of u guys are from the uk, but a 2''er would coast about $50, about 10 times the amount of a 2'' oscar. $100 for 2 fish is killin me, but i got the tank and everything for free, so $100 and i got a tank setup. lemme know what you guys think. heres a pic.

from what i've read on other forums ebjd are problamatic(prone to illness) with shorten life spans.they say this might be due to the inbreedeing that resulted in the colouring of the fish.

personally i have never had or know anyone who has had one but if they're pricey it might be something to look into.

here's a link to some info on them from other keepers

hmmm...thanks for the link... . seems like they arent very hardy of fish. i dont think id risk that much money on something thats not gonna live too long. i think i was already talked outta it lmao. though i do think it would pay off if they survive.
