mrseby Posted December 9, 2004 Share Posted December 9, 2004 Mine breed at about 5-6cm and babies from that batch are now about 2-3cm but i have not keept any since and let them spit fry in the tanks. I must say one thing!!! What i have noticed in my many many years of fish keeping is that fish that have been captive bred for many gens, tend to breed at a younger and younger age!!! I recently had a female frontosa breed at 14mth so ...they never never stop amazing me !!!! Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Meredith Posted December 9, 2004 Author Share Posted December 9, 2004 Thanks all for the replys and one more thing how do you sex blue dolphins. Meredith Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ducksta Posted December 9, 2004 Share Posted December 9, 2004 You've got to vent sex them, unless of course you have the advantage of seeing them spawn/hold etc. Venting them should be pretty easy at 11cm. Not so easy at 5cm like I've been trying to master for people Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrseby Posted December 10, 2004 Share Posted December 10, 2004 also Adult males should have big hump on the head like a front LOL But since they breed so young now!! even b4 hump develops best way is what ducksta said. cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
