Can i put any other fishes?

I'd put two in there but that'd be it long term.

Whats the best food to give em?? Theyre only about a 1"1/2

Excuse me for stealing your thread a bit but jeta, I had heard from a pretty reputable breeder and store owner in Pittsburgh that ebjds can lose there color and look like a normal JD if their tank temperature rises to high..is there any truth to this?

I'd start them on some cichlid gold or something along those lines

I've never heard of that, the electric blue variant is prominent no matter the fishes situation, much like a melanistic or albino trait.

As far as feeding goes, get them on nls thera +a .5 mm ASAP. If you notice stringy or white poo, or if they look thin, treat for parasites with metro/prazi as they are very prone to getting them.

I have 2 regular jds and 4 convicts in a 55 gallon right now they are all doing great but they are definitely starting to out grow the tank so I'm gonna have to up grade soon
