normally after 8 monthes old they are able to breed. But it is suggested that you should wait until they are 40 grams at least to start breeding, 50 grams would be better, this is for the female. the male on the other hand can breed at a much smaller size. He doesn't have to support the eggs and so forth.

Males can breed at probally 8 months or so. Females around 10. I suggest not breeding any leos till they are at a minnimum of 10 moths old and 40 grams, preferably 55 or 60 grams for females. Egg laying takes alot away from a female.
