Re: The Life and Times of a Breeding Female (none / 0) (#4)

When i said about 4 months. i ment only from the point of becoming pregnated... Which would be about the time when the gravid spot first appears I think... So i only start couting from there... With Gravid spot development though it depends on a few things... Like tank size, how many feedings ect...

Basicly how long it takes for it to gain maturatity from the point of birth.. (betweeen 2 weeks - 1 month) then from that point another 4 months before you could see your first drop. But that is under prime conditions...

I also wanted to add, that When pregnant once and a while you will see the gravid spot suddenly reapear, but once placeing her in a breeder box/net the gravid spot can disapear... I still have not quite figured out what it is.... Either A... some how it comes down to protect the female .. Or B... thats just what there poop looks like inside them.. (cause usually after a good dump it disapears again) This should not be mistaken for a Dropping... If you watch carefully you will see the baby fry's eyes developing in the egg. this will give it the look of a gravid spot. But develops over time... not in the last hour that you happened not to look at them.... :) :)
