Hystrix breeders

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
Hmm.. Does anybody know if anyone in the US has or is breeding True Hystrix?
Good Luck and I hope for the best, but those claspers do not look fully mature.

I agree, it must have happened right before you took her out of the tank ... cuz I know most pregnancys are around 100 days well that would put her due any day.... but something tells me she has a lil longer, im willing to bet has around another month however i have never had pups before... she gets huge when i feed her but when she isnt full she is still big but not huge like other pregger females i have seen
 
to sum up what we are talking about...

alright... so i added up the days since i took possision of her ... and i have had her for 67 days so in roughly another month she should have her pups.... correct?
 
sounds about right.. Keep the water mint.. and lots of food. And this could turn out awesome!
 
yea ... im already looking into a 55 to buy to throw my aro and tsn/rtc into until its born then swap them out.... obviously drain the water and put in from my main tank ... but i wanna take every precaution i can. Ill step up my water changes I normally do one 50%every week... maybe do two 25 a week or one 25 and a 50. I saw more movement today so it wasnt just a fluke... always in the same spot though so... prolly only one pup... im hoping for two because i would think that these would have a smaller max size then motoro and i would really like to breed them for smaller ray keepers :)
 
She isnt that big of a fan of shrimp every now and then she goes crazy for them but normally she doesnt, so i have been feeding her mostly silversides... she kind of just tears the shrimp apart... and i know u said u use to feed her shrimp all the time.. do you think that the pregnacy changes her liking of it?
