Leo2o915 Posted June 30, 2022 Share Posted June 30, 2022 After breeding them what’s the best temp set up for the fry ? And best temp to keep them at ? Right now tank around 80 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
anewbie Posted June 30, 2022 Share Posted June 30, 2022 Not sure but in general temp impacts sex of the fry - i *think* too warm and you will get mostly males; vaguely i think 76 is the target temp for mix of sexes. Also vaguely i think 80 is a bit on the warm side for macs and they do better closer to 76. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gotcha so cooler temp they will produce more even number of sexes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BradfordAquatics Posted July 1, 2022 Share Posted July 1, 2022 But too cold and then you'll get mostly the other sex, so you want to find that sweet spot in the middle. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
