For now at least, maybe upgrade or distribute the fry in a few months though

They should be fine for a while then, but still I wouldn't keep them together too long to not influence inbreeding

 

[Sp3nc3r]

sounds good

 

[blitztidus]

Well, anyways, she does. The cycle for her has already started over again. Now doesn't that suck

 

[Sp3nc3r]

hahah yeah

[atmmachine816]

I wouldn't worry to much about inbreeding, by the time they can breed I would think that you would be able to sell them or do what ever with them

 

[Sp3nc3r]

how long should i wait before selling?
2 months?
1 month?

 

[blitztidus]

I would ask your lfs what size they will take them at, if they would take them at all, or you can distribute them amongst your neighbors and family if they would like any.

Well....that's true and not true. Most LFS won't take them before they are at least 3 months or so. They want to see some color, and have some fish of some substance. Males start developing around 3 months, sometimes earlier or later. All it takes is one male to impregnate your whole batch of females. Females can breed as early as a couple of days, but they usually don't have fry until they are 3 months or so. So it can be a problem...
