Dwarf Retic Sizes

ROC Feb 12, 2009 11:08 PM

This forum probably sees this question a bunch, but I wanted to ask what the dwarf retic sizes max out at. Thanks in advance.

It really depends on whether you're working with "pure" strains, or crosses between strains. Typically, Jampea females will reach 13-15'and males 11-13'. Whereas a more pure "dwarf" female should max out somewhere in the 10-12' range, with males reaching 7-9'.
Hope this helps!

Pure "superdwarfs" I've read are alot smaller than that. Females 7'-9' and males 6'-7'. Like I've said thats what I've read what people are saying when breeding their Supers. If you want a really small retic, thats definately the way to go. I got a 50% super dwarf from Crestedgecko, but he'll get bigger being only 50%.

Fish: I would agree. But on that note I also categorize "superdwarfs" as their own size strain. I don't include them in the "dwarf" strains.
