Barrie Posted January 6, 2008 Report Share Posted January 6, 2008 Ive been breeding my Striatum at about 24 through winter/spring but have have 10 to 1 in favour of females. With out want to be sexest, I want more males and the Dallas forum has found that breeding at a higher temp produces more males. any thoughts?

alanmin4304 Posted January 6, 2008 Report Share Posted January 6, 2008 They may not be so keen to spawn at a higher temperature, but you could try keeping the egg temperature up and report back. You may not be sexist but the buyers definately are. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ej Posted January 8, 2008 Report Share Posted January 8, 2008 Hi Barrie, I have also read somewhere that lower temp. produce more females which goes for several species. I have noticed the latest Nothos have produced more males, where I have stored the eggs at 24C to 28C. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
