Time and size at maturity is relative to the fish. Each one is different, there are only guidelines..We dont know exactly how old the fish is, so thats basically out the window. When you see your male making practice passes, he is learning and getting better everytime..
It took my pair 4 tries before they got it right. Patience is key! I thought my male was infertile for the longest time lol. I almost got rid of them when I decided to give them one more chance and voila! And they even got it wrong afterwards, so IMO, I think they just need to mature..
Yea I was gonna tell you to put your first 2 coats on heavy with a quality brush and the rest of the coats with a chemical resistant foam roller. They make finish rollers as well..but looks like you handled it..nice build by the way. I'd like to come see it one day. Im on the eastside in...
Im just now seeing this thread. I wish I saw it a while ago, I coulda helped you out with some pointers. What type of roller are you using? And did you use max acr for epoxy?
I have a 20" temensis and 14" mono im selling. $150 for the Tem obo and $100 for the male mono. These guys are healthy, eating a high quality pellet, market shrimp and sometimes tilapia. Pm for pics. Leave an email addy or cell# and i'll send pics immediately..
I always guestimate. I count out ten and imagine them in groups of 10. Probably the most inaccurate way to count, but i get a good estimate lol. besides i dont count them unless they reach a certain size..
