experimenting!!

just moved my trios from my small tubs to my bigger tubs split the 1.2 groups up to 1.5,my two other 1.5 groups have been producing 50 to 60 pups every 3 to 3 1/2 weeks is doing great so why not try it with the whole colony.there was a little fighting with one of the females but they settled down,the two extra males were put in the male grow out tub & MAN it looked like the UFC in there so I had to feed off the two mature males,it was something to see .only the two mature males were fighting even when some of the grow outs were just as big.will shall see in the morning if they are settle in or dead.

Let us know whats going on with these guys.

Hopefully all goes well!

I experimented with lots of different groups. My best production comes out of 1.2 or 1.3 groups. no bigger or smaller.

everything looks good we shall see how it goes,but after my two 1.5 tubs out produced my trios im trying it + the small tubs got too dirty too fast,also it gives them more room.
