All im saying is what ive been reading up on an the things my professor has told me sooooo.... Yeah. The knowledge i receive is the knowledge i pass. And yes they do and can start showing their godopodium at around one month. You may not be able to see with the naked eye BUT with a magnifying glass you sure as hell can. I have tested this in my marine biology class. The only things i say up here is through exstensive research and from school. So if testing theories proving positive are wrong then i dont know what CAN be right. It matters not how long one has been doing something what matters is the knowledge one has from actually looking into something. I never said they mature that early just being able to tell the gender b/t 1mo and 2. And apart from how early they start to show more of themselves, maturiity can take up to 12 weeks or three months. Thats why i said AS EARLY AS. Another thing, the gestation period of a pregnant female is judt under a month per batch of fry. On average, for a healthy female, 65 fry to 80. Its rare but 100+ does happen. So your females having only up to 12, again, is what made me tell you to stop breeding her because its due to excessive invreeding before you got her. Idc if you two dont believe me but when my gups come out with less problems and more beautiful fry and MORE fry, you guys will be saying, oh wait he was right. So instead of constantly putting down a noob to breeding how about think, hmmm maybe he could have a point. Let me actually go look into this. Because i will tell you if a professor didnt know his stuff.... HE WOULDNT BE A PROFESSOR. Thank you that is all. And i still recommend removing the fry from the parents and seperating the male and the female.
