Age apisto C's start to breed at

[nightowl1350]

I have a spawn of apisto C (only about 12 or so) just over 3 months old. Any idea how old the females will be before they start to breed?

I think this spawn is all females (temp was a bit high as they were raised with blue rams) but I've lost my original female and want an idea of when they become mature. I've noticed some of them are yellowish certain times of the day, but it may just be the lighting??

From what I've heard, they'll reach sexual maturity around 3-4 months old, and be about an inch in size. I'm not sure about the yellow color, but if she remains bright yellow, it should indicate that she has spawned.

Thanks, guess it is time to introduce them to my male The yellow is only slight, not like when they are about to or have spawned.
