For those of you that count days...How fast have you seen a female turn around and spawn again from the first spawn? General estimates are cool too.
Like if she spawns, then holds for 10-14 days, then you strip. Whats the fastest turn around time youve seen for a female to spawn again?
I guess what Im getting at is that I just stripped a female after holding for 10 days and I swear I think she is dropping tube again and is acting like she is going to spawn again in another 10 days or less.
If that happens, it would be about 25 days at the very most between spawns.
Iv heard something like 30-45 days...but this would be much less than that if she does indeed spawn.
BTW, the first spawn was small and the female is big and plump. She is fed well and water is super low nitratesand the fish are thriving.
Anyway, please share your experience if you would.
