I just recently gave up on my chocolates.....My male was about 8" and female was a bit over 6".....They had 5 or 6 spawns, the eggs would last 2 days, then they would eat them......I was going to pull the parents and hatch the eggs myself, but decided to give them to a friend......I am sure he will get a good spawn out of them.
