what's the rario of a batch ...............

[paige]

it all depends on a lot of things...to say that they "should be half and half" is incorrect....if there are more male hormones in the water, generally more females will be produced, and vice versa....

and paige, i thought you have fry that are months old? and you still say they are all female? maybe you need to start keeping them in heated tanks if they are developing that slow........

yep, did that today moved some of them into the big tank.and the rest will go in tommorow,as long as the others are alright in there.

Sorry Abstract, but are you talking to me? I don't believe I said they should be half and half...I just told her what I knew from my experience...

Sorry if you weren't talking to me, though.

 

[abstract]

wasn't really talking to anyone or i would have quoted them....was saying not to expect them to be half and half...

Right, sorry. I just wasn't sure.

Of course they will not be even, at exactly half and half, but it's usually somewhere around there, give or take 5-10 or so. Of course, it also depends on the size of the batch, as smaller batches usually tend to go towards one sex more then larger batches do.
