Apollonia may have eggs and i have no male large enough for her

[enigmaslim]

My new girl Apollonia seems to have eggs or forming eggs. She's a Hypo, My only male is a 20g Patty, how long can she go before I introduce a male for her? She's 41g, What should I do?

she'll possibly lay infertile eggs. it happens. no worries. when your male isw big enough you can most likely look forward to some fertile ones.

good luck!

IMHO I wouldn't breed if she is under 60 g anyways, laying eggs takes a lot out of them, so that being said, fatten her up some if she will be laying some, even infetile.

As mentioned, they'll be infertile as long as you haven't already put the two together.

It's not necessarily the size of the male that you need to wait on, as males can breed with no problems much earlier than females. It's the female you need to be careful of. She should be at least 55-60 grams before introducing the male.
