How many fry do you raise from each spawn?

[gutted]

I'm asking about hybrids only, preferably 2 different types of fish. Like a SRD x thai silk, texas x parrot, texas x jagaur not a SRD x SRD. What size tank do you have for them?

I usually end up raising only about 20-25 each time because i only have a 60 gallon grow out tank. I cull pretty heavy and give loads away too.

Next time I have a breeding project I think I'll have to setup 4 55 gallon tanks just for them. Raising batches of 150-200 is a lot of work.

Yea raising that many anymore is not the best move unless you got help lol. I've learned the hard way and will no longer raise over 50 per spawn. I've always had bad luck with aggression.

Yup. I have 40-50 in a 40 gallon breeder. They are barely an inch. seems one gets clipped every few days.

I am breeding red texas so it behooves me to save all of them if possible. I currently have over a hundred growouts. 150 gallon, 60s 30s... Of course raising a red texas spawn is kind of like raising a haystack for a few really valuable needles. In other crosses of course you can grade quality at a much smaller size, and therefore raise fewer.

If your growing that many you must have a certain way of dealing the killings. If one has a good pair, they will spawn 2 times a month so there really is no need to grow that many at once. But if you have a certain process that helps with aggression I would love to hear it. Every spawn I have had with these hybrids I lose 2 or 3 that I know will bevery good turnouts. It gets old after a while... Then you get the state of mind I can do more with less per spawn.

Right now I've got about 50 keepers that I'm hoping will look like their dad.

I never have that problem with this spawn. I had 150+ of them in my 40 with very try few casualties. I had that happen in my last spawn in my 75 but I think they were picking off the sick and weak.
