firestorm Posted October 5, 2008 Report Share Posted October 5, 2008 I was just wondering what the average breeding age for the synodontis petricola is? I have a bunch of young ones here, going to grow them out and see if I can get some to pair off. Would love to breed them but I don't know how long I will have to wait for this. I was told about 2 years, but is it really that long? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
African_Fever Posted October 6, 2008 Report Share Posted October 6, 2008 I'd guess about two years, possibly more. They'll need to be about 3" to breed from what I've seen, and with them growing so slowly it can take two years to get to that size. As for spawning they don't pair off at all, but spawn as a group, and having more males than females is needed. My 'breeding group' currently consists of 12 lucipinnis, all 3-4".
