A question about growouts

[Sorrell]

Hello. I was wondering if a breeder had more than one spawn that was the same age/size, could the be in the same grow out tank after the spawing tank? I have two growouts so this isn't a problem for me, but I was just thinking about the breeders that have 10 spawns at once

I was kinda wondering the same thing myself. I'm moving my CT's to a 20 tonight for a couple of weeks while I clear out the 55 (jar the girls) and I think (think) that I'm going to move the deltas to the 20 too, I think (think) I'm going to put both spawns together and try it out. There's only 5 days difference between the two and if I put them together early enough, it might be ok.

Since I plan on spawning again this week, I need the extra growouts for the younger crowd. I'll let ya know how it goes for me. I'd like to hear what others have to say about it too

I've heard of breeders doing this, so I don't see a problem. The only reason I wouldn't is if the 2 spawns are very close in color causing me to not know which fry came from which spawn. Now if you don't care then that's not a problem, but for me, I need to know who the parents are, so it would be a problem. So I could mix a red spawn with a Turq or steel spawn with no problem, but I couldn't mix a Turq spawn with a steel spawn.
