Breeding

Hello,

I am a new member to the forum, I was glad to find out that you had your own section for BSJ.

Thanks for the great information.

I was curious to know if anybody here has actually had their BSJ breed?

We haven't had any members yet.

My BJ currently flashes his breeding colors many times a day. But I have never seen him hold any babies.

So far I haven't found any successful reports but am crossing my fingers for Lorraine and just added a second to my tank yesterday.
I did find a bit of breeding info on them but not any reports of success. They are mouth brooders and apparently the male only holds the eggs until shortly after they hatch. The fry apparently eat live phyto. This is a report from somebody who knows somebody who supposedly did it. Could be true could be nonsense.
I am really hoping Lorraine can find out.

Good luck, I hope tho hear a success story from you soon.

I wonder if they do anything special to get the pearly jawfish to breed.

I think they cross their fingers and toes and stand on their head!
