I love a good fish story! As long as you mean twice as large though, right?

Congrats on your clutch and I look forward to some pippers in the future.
I've been pretty lucky to hatch a few in the 100+ gram range. My previous best was an 11 egg clutch last year that was 1216 grams where 9 of 11 crawled out at 70-80 grams.
