QUESTION: Thanks for the info; how long will each of those carry their eggs before laying them?

Answer
Hi

I though so , but I needed to be sure of your meaning , actually it depends on the fish age , and if it is the first time or not ,

at the beginning it might take some time , after that most of them has its breeding season not all year around .

it might take from 3 weeks to one month between each breeding for all in one season ,

You can always simulate the right breeding circumstances for breeding to accelerate breeding behavior all year around but this is not recommended at all .

You must give them some time to rest between breeding .

i always do so .
