Marble motoro gestation periods

[SandNukka15]

So i believe my marble got knocked up the 1st week of april...ever since the male didnt bite her which made me that was when she got knocked up....never found a sperm plug tho. Ive been seeing movement in her for about 3 weeks and she is big....not huge but pretty big.

For those that have bred marbles what gestation periods have u seen and any early indications that she about to give birth?

If i had to guess today would be between 90-100 days for her

Your marbles or regular motoros?

120 days. You can see movement at 60. So if you have only been seeing move to for 3 weeks you are somewhere around 80-90 days.

I think went 3-4 months.

I have only seen it for 3 weeks but could of been happening 1-2 weeks before then

ive had 3 marble batches thus far... 1st one was 160 days...2nd batch was around 180days....and my last at 150ish... id say anywhere between 4-6 months depending on if shes alone or not. if u seperate her from ur male shell hold a bit longer.

imo if its 3-4 months...theres prob a male buggin the fem to breed again forcin her to dropp early. how i ended up at 150 days this last batch, i was expecting another month but didnt divide her off soon enough. Gotta b careful with ur males if there present. always better to divide the fems off if u can or remove the male to a different tank all together.
