Poleni fry mutants

[triz316]

Some my pollen fry are still very small.1/2 inch while some are almost 1.5 inches. There are also some that look stunted length wise . they were in 2 10 gallon tanks for awhile and now are in a 75 and the growth rates are very different. should the tiny ones be euthanized or the ones that look short bodied???

the parents are perfect.

the odd ones are usually the ones I cull. I wait till they are about 1.5-2" before I intentionally start culling. For years I had a fahaka puffer that made quick work of my oddities.

Don't panic just yet the size difference could be because of your females are smaller than your males. You may be culling all your females!

Wait and watch. In time you will be able to tell which ones to cull. If in doubt don't cull it. And agreed about growth rates not being the main concern in culling.
