Blue JD

MaelStrom · 08-14-2007, 12:26 PM

Where i work we had a blue JD and hes like only an inch and doesnt seem to be growing much at all. Hes like 40$ and for his size and condition he is way over priced. I was thinking of just rasing him till hes like 3 or 4 inches in a ten gallon by himself( with maybe an oto or something). Do you think that would be ok? How long would it take?

DOnt put him in a 10g IMO- we would not grow fast at all. If you can set up maybe a 20 for him he should be 4 inches in about 8 months

They are not the hardiest of fish, and should be kept in larger uarters than a 30 gallon. That probably wasnt THE cause of death but it could have contributed.

Anyways- Yeah, they are beautiful fish but hard to care for
