Yodapwnsasmurf Posted April 25, 2014 Report Share Posted April 25, 2014 So I'm not a huge African guy, but I just stripped a tiny female Phytophagus and got a LOT more fry than I would have expected. What's the standard size?? I honestly only expected like 6 max. Finn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Donny@ageofaquariums Posted April 25, 2014 Report Share Posted April 25, 2014 These guys are prolific as all hell. Not unusual to get 50 from a medium size mum. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Donny@ageofaquariums Posted April 26, 2014 Report Share Posted April 26, 2014 Usually I do the same. With the victorian/kyoga species, I find you can almost double your haul if you extract early and tumble eggs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
