How old does the male have to be to fertilize eggs.I think my female is laying eggs regularly. But have never seen him fert. them.He is still growing out his third stripe on his tail.And, with her being wild caught and him being captive breed play a role in this?
 
He's probably just much younger than she is. He'll fertilize the eggs when he's ready...just be patient!

Congratulations on her spawns...I hope to hear that you're raising some fry in the near future!
 
Oh I plan on it .I get so excited when I see her swell up like a bass!!The eggs seem to stay for awhile weeks or so Is that normal?They dont get washed away,eaten? They where love at first sight very little fighting maybe one day.Hosted togther ever since
