Breeding younger males

[Got Balls?]

I have a little over 500g male lemon blast that locked with a female for about 24 hrs my question is that if she went on to ovulate what are the chances that she will take? when I popped him to check for sperm plugs I think he has a little but I'm not 100% on that still inexperienced

Its possible! I know there are plenty of people who will try to breed smaller males, just make sure you give them a nice break in between breedings so they don't get worn out.

As long as he's producing sperm plugs he should be fine. Some members have paired males at 300g.

Just be sure to take it slow and give him a long time to relax between locks so he doesn't get worn out.

It will probably take, depending more on the size of the follicles. If they're in the 10-15mm range, it has a chance of not doing anything. If larger, it has a great chance of taking. 500 grams is fine for a breeding male, as long as he's still eating.

If your goal is to produce lemon blasts, don't throw another male in there. Also, I'd give the female at least 4 weeks off. Let her follicles grow in size a little more. If her follicles are already at the 20-30mm range, then most likely the lemon blast got it done, and it won't need another lock... Good luck!

--Oh, also, if you want to have the lemon blast be the sire with her, it's likely not a problem to give him and her 2-4 weeks off, then pair them again. Give her time to build and develop those follicles.

Try feeding him on his break. feeding goes a long way for those little guys, plus you're also adding weight on him.

I have a male Butter that has been locking up with the normal female now about once a week since he hit 600 grams. I normally give him a 5 to 7 day break in between lock because if I put them in with her he's going to lock her. I started. Them up with you about 475 grams and he showed no interest. But after hw hit 600 he was a baller he'll have her locked up within 30 minutes of being put in her tub and stay locked up for 16 + hours. just the other day I palpated her and noticed that she had roughly 30 millimeter follicles developing so from here on until she stops breeding I'm only going to try to pair them about every 10 days.

Can someone explain what female follicles are? Or give me a link that explains how to tell when a male and female are sexually mature
