Breeding sizes

Post by Bench »

Hi guys, at what size do you think this hypans start breeding? I should be getting a pair of females sized 2.5" next week. Too small, or right size? Please advice.

I have had females around that size spawn before, quite unexpected.
They are capable if they are well conditioned but their spawns will be smaller & they will take longer to reach full size giving larger spawns.
Good luck with the new zebs. :)

They are big enough to produce some eggs.
