Tank is only a 125. The Female is not that small she is around 9" and about 1.5" thick. Yeah her belly was massive before she layed her eggs. Thats not all the eggs either she layed more further up the piece of Driftwood. I would say she layed another 500 on the DW.
LOL yea I know but I am going to be picking the best 20 or 30 raise them in the 20 and 10 until about 3/4" and put half them in a 40 and a 20. I also have a bunch of rubbermaids hanging around too and they are each 28 gallons. I will leave the majority in the tank with mommy and daddy but I can't see more than 200 surviving to 1 or 2". I would say there is about 1200 eggs now but I highly doubt 2000. Still I will be selling when they get 4" for $12 a peice. Sound like a reasonable price? I am going to be getting started on a 450 plywood growout tank as well so at least I can growout more fish later on. I will probably keep 15 of the best for my self so I can continue generations to come. I am excited to finally start my breeding colony of Manny's. My dream is coming to reality.
