well you probably seen my other thread the other day but i was wondering will my female festae actually be ready to breed at about 3-3.5"??
 
it possible, my friend said that his had fry, but the parents ate them..... i think he was lying.
 
ok thanks a bunch for the fast reply, just cause i divided them off to their own bit of the tank i dont want the male trying to force her into it if she is not physically ready..
 
were they together before that?
were they like a "pair" before that size?

They were an amazing pair. The male never picked on the female or tried to harrass her into mating. They swam around like a happy couple until they were both ready. Check'em out.

And here they are after the spawn. They were the perfect pair.
