Simple enough question. My female laid eggs in June, and we removed them and placed them in the incubator. We didnt take the male out of the tank either, So I want to know how soon she could lay eggs again? Does it always take a year round between egg laying? We removed the male about a month ago as we wanted to breed her to a pastel this year. I know they can hold sperm for 20 days till it goes bad, but what are the chances of her laying eggs soon from being with him? Or am I safe to assume she wont be fertilized by him and we will get pastels when we breed with the other male? Please no comments on "why were they together the whole time?" or anything else. We have what works for us and you have what works for you. I just want to know what the span is between egg laying. Thanks.
