They are both about 4". This is their second spawn. Their first spawn has been free swimming for six weeks as of yesterday. I've had JD males spawn as small as 2.5" and females at less than 3".

Thanks Mark, I appreciate that. I had no idea at what size they would mature enough to spawn. I have my two and they are almost 4 inches. I bought them in April, they are probably around 5 months old. I will have to start to watch for any pairing off soon. Thanks and good luck with the spawn~ !

You are very welcome Kate. Actually this pair is currently in a 29 gal. too, and doing great. I'll be moving them up to a 40 Breeder in about six months. Good luck with your pair.

Thanks Mark. Im pretty sure that I have a male and a female. Almost 99% on that, but... you know how hard it can be to tell at this young age. My guys will go into the 55 when I get the 120. And it will be upgrading for all the fish then .I still have at least another six months tops as these guys are under 6 months old now.. But like yours, they are doing fine in the 29 for now.
Im really enjoying the personalities of these JDs!
