She is probably 16-18" disc size. I think she is at least 4-5 years old. I know the fish store I got her from had her at least 2 years before I got her. The male is in with her all the time. I have that problem with my Henlei pair, with the male biting the crap out her.( I had to put a divider in the tank). I would keep trying cause you never know! Good Luckwayneonet;2754635; said:Congrats on the babies, How big is your female, mine is 25 inches from head to tail, She is only 16 months old, When do you think I should try and breed her? I keep her seperate from my male as he has been chewing on the back edge of her disc.
