DanGofCalgary Posted October 26, 2010 Report Share Posted October 26, 2010 Looks to be about 12 or so. Is that a normal spawn for them? She looked big enough to explode before she dropped them. They are huge too! haha! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jayba Posted October 26, 2010 Report Share Posted October 26, 2010 Typical batches of fry are between 10-40, but 25 is about the average. And yes they pop out large, with their little umbilical cords trailing along behind them!lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DanGofCalgary Posted October 26, 2010 Author Report Share Posted October 26, 2010 Thanks Jay. I think this is her first spawn, so not surprised that it might be on the low end. I can't imagine her carrying 40 of them the size they came out , or even 25! She would have had them coming out her ears! haha! I gave them a little bit of white worms this morning. was fun watching them stalk and attack the worms! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sailfinja Posted October 26, 2010 Report Share Posted October 26, 2010 The larger the fry the smaller the batch. Age/size of female is a big factor also. My older females usually drop in the 30+range. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
