I have a big female EBJD from Rapps, and she's been sharing a 55 gallon with my biggest Gold JD. She's 6-7" and he's about 5". They've been living together in peace for a couple months now. No spawning and little action. I know he's old enough, as a friend of mine has two spawns of golds from his siblings. She spawned about a year ago in a 125 community tank. To break up the monotony I threw in a BG male that recently killed his female. The BG is about 4".
Initially the BG hid, then came out to challenge the Gold. He even managed to win a couple of lip lock battles. The female EBJD came over to watch, and often poked at the Gold. The gold would stop to tail slap the EBJD. After about an hour it appear the gold has won. He's chasing the BG male around the tank mercilessly. He will soon be removed. I snapped a few pics, hopefully they'll turn out. Maybe this will get the other two "in the mood."
