true, they're not easy to breed. it's easiest with a regular female jack, and a male blue jack. great looking fish

Thanks for the comment......I read this

Two blues bred together will not produce a full blue offspring. To achieve full blue offspring, you must first start with a blue male and breed him with a regular color female Jack Dempsey. The offspring that this pair creates will appear as regular Jack Dempseys, but the difference is that they will carry the blue gene. This group of fish must now be grown out to the size where a female can be determined and selected and bred back to the original blue male. The offspring of this pairing will produce an indeterminant number of true blue variant fish.

Not to sure but hope someone can point me in the correct direction

well, i've been breeding jacks for 7 years now. never bred the blues, or even had one for that matter, but what kind of direction could i maybe help you with.
