yellow Posted May 21, 2006 Share Posted May 21, 2006 ive had a 3 cm demasoni holding out the back in a drum for the last few weeks and finally decided to milk her for the sole purpose of getting her back to eating as i believe shes a bit to young to be breeding yet id rather wait until she got bigger.i expected her to have one baby at most but was surprised to pull five out of her.shes about the size that youd sell them at i couldnt believe it. heres my question.what size mouthfuls are you getting from yours and at what size are they at that point.just curious to see if adults have large mouthfuls. thankyou jason Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Josh Posted May 21, 2006 Share Posted May 21, 2006 When I used to breed them I would get mouthfuls between 15 and 25. Josh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ducksta Posted May 22, 2006 Share Posted May 22, 2006 A couple of my old females regularly produced mouthfuls of 30+ once they got some size to them. Mind you my girls were big, to the point where most people with experience with the species looked in my tank and would swear blind they were all male. Aline, you must be underestimating the size of your fish? I had fry of hers bigger than that 2 years ago Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
