I have 4 Yellow Belly Albert's that I was growing out in a 14g rite now.I know there is 1 male looking really good and atleast 2 are females and don't know about the smallest one to early to tell.I noticed a few days ago that the largest female was holding.I think there still to young.I didn't know they could hold so young.They are an 1" for the bigger ones.My question is can I breed them in a 20L by them selves and what sould I do about the female that is holding rite now.Let her be or what I have never stripped a fish before.I would love to start breeding them.How long do they hold for.Any advice,help or suggestions would really be apreciated.Thanks!

Yes Vics go very early. I just looked into my 10G this morning thats holding 12 Ruby Greens. One of the females is holding. Crazy! They are just growing out!

Don't be surprised if she dosent hold longer then 3-4 days. Also Yes they can breed in 20G longs. I have done it before and I still do in some cases.

If they are not picking on each other then they should be fine. I would set them up with something in the future so they can do there thing.

I lost my male!I don't know what happened I check the water and everything was ok.He didn't seem to be sick either and eating fine.Then went to wedding and came home and he was belly up.I was so upset.Now I only have 3 females and no males.I will let them grow out and then try to find a male later. cry
