Yeah according to the posted above Take a Reg Jack (Pref Female) (BB) and a Elec.Blue (Pref Male, because Elec. Blue are less agressive than reg) (bb).

b b
B Bb Bb
B Bb Bb

End result is 100% Bb gene which is is a Reg Jack that carries Elec. Blue Gene.

Then you take a female from the (Bb) gene batch and breed it with a male Elec. Blue. (bb) pref. not the father. That can lead to issues with the fry and your gene batch. Also its better with the male being the Elec. Blue due to the aggression issue, but also the fact that the Male Elec. Blues are going to be a bit more colorful than the females and you want that gene characteristic to carry on into the fry.

b b
B Bb Bb
b bb bb
End result is a 50% (Bb) Reg. that carries the gene and 50% (bb) actual Elec. Blues.

You can breed (bb) and (bb) together and it would technically come out as

b b
b bb bb
b bb bb
Which is a 100% (bb) gene or 100% Elec. Blue fry, but you run the risk of many issues with them because of after all this is a recessive trait and is not meant to be implemented into a dominate trait which is what you would be doing by breeding two together.
Hope that helps.

I have two electric blue gene jack dempseys but I have aquired a reg jack dempsey and the electric bluem jack dempsey decided to pair off with the regular jack demsey. Is their a possiblity that I can aquire electric blue jack dempsey.

The problem
