Size Question

Kavo Jan 21, 2008 10:38 PM

I purchased a trio of Tremper Giant Line Het Albino. My question is how big will the females need to be before they are of breeding size, and the male for that matter. Thanks for your answers in advance.

60 grams and ovulating is a good rule. From there just make sure they have enough body wieght and a thick tail.

Giant line doesn't mean giant, but if they are giants, then atleast 60 grams.

Thanks for the info. The two females are 6-8 months old and 45 grams, so I am assuming that they have some more growing to do.

I'd wait about a year; generally they're supposed to reach full adult size by 18 months or so (though some do grow faster than that).

They don't sound giant to me. My giants grew to that size in 3-4 month.

In Ron Tremper's book, it says about 55-75 for giant morphs.
