It could be done quicker though. I just really enjoy having fry around, so I wanted to keep them as long as I could.

the other Irene Posted August 19, 2021 Author Share Posted August 19, 2021 I have no idea how old my were when I got them but they bred 2 months later and both were pretty small. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So they would need a year before they are ready to be sold? I thought it was much faster than that, that they could be sold 2 months after they hatched? Is this the case with all types of appisots? I assume it is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tolstoy21 Posted August 19, 2021 Share Posted August 19, 2021 I start selling them once they are roughly 1 1/4" - 1 1/2". This is around three to four month timeframe, depending on how many fish are in the grow out tank competing for food and how many times a day they are fed. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheChosenOne Posted August 21, 2021 Share Posted August 21, 2021 I'm about to try my hand at breeding apistos. (first time breeding anything on purpose). My water is pretty hard i believe so it will be fun to see if I can pull it off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
