Spawning Sterbai

Post by Baardman »

Good morning Catfishers ….I had a single pair of sterbai spawn every week or so for me( about 20 or so eggs every 6 days) One of my friends had about 6 giant sized sterbai who never spawned for him, I jumped at the opportunity to add more adults to my spawning pair. Just after i added them to my tank mine spawned, three days later these new adults are also spawning i pulled around a 100 eggs of the glass last night

Congrats. I am also spawning sterbai now and wish I could get that kind of egg production. My reverse trio seems to be happy laying a handful of eggs every 3-4 days. Unfortunately this has me raising several small batches of fry of different ages.
