Slightly Blue Dalmation Posted June 6, 2008 Report Share Posted June 6, 2008 i was thinking about trying to purify some of the strains my millions of random fry are coming through and wondering how big before they are breedable? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ianab Posted June 6, 2008 Report Share Posted June 6, 2008 You need to seperate them as soon as you can tell the sexes apart. The females can breed at a very young age, they may only have 5 or so fry, but they can do that several times before they run out of sperm. So if you do want to selectively breed then you need virgin females. Keeping the females unmated will let them grow faster too. Ian Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Slightly Blue Dalmation Posted June 7, 2008 Author Report Share Posted June 7, 2008 excellent will do that now so one male to a few female? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cesarz Posted June 9, 2008 Report Share Posted June 9, 2008 One male to at least three females. This way the females dont get streassed out, but too many females will make the male less interested. Will you be keeping a breeding record? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

caserole Posted June 9, 2008 Report Share Posted June 9, 2008 Part of the records are how old the fish are, if you leave virgins to long before mating you can have problems. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slightly Blue Dalmation Posted June 9, 2008 Author Report Share Posted June 9, 2008 ah not a clue, they are still small and just sexable so in theory virgin females Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
