Flycaster Posted July 8, 2014 Share Posted July 8, 2014 How big do these need to be before they start breeding? Mine are about 6 inches and are doing a lot of 'courting' for about a month now but havent layed eggs... Just wondering if theyre big enough or if theyre just practicing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ducksta Posted July 8, 2014 Share Posted July 8, 2014 I have a 'pair' a bit bigger.They are in a mixed tank but have gone through the motions and dropped eggs a few times (never been sure if they are fertile or not)The first time the female put down eggs would have been between 7-8inch.I'd say there is no reason a pair couldn't spawn that young. But I couldn't say at what size is 'normal'. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flycaster Posted July 8, 2014 Author Share Posted July 8, 2014 Cool thanks, these are in a mixed tank so I guess theyll work it out eventually ( or not :-)) I reckon I have too many catfish in there anyway for many eggs to hatch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

splendidasa Posted July 11, 2014 Share Posted July 11, 2014 I had 2 I had to sell because they outgrew my tank - they were about 40cm from the tip of the tail to the mouth was almost the width of the tank. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flycaster Posted July 12, 2014 Author Share Posted July 12, 2014 I reckon theyd have fair old mouths at that size 2! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
