Hey guys. My boyfriend's thinking about breeding, and I don't think that'd be the greatest idea (he wants to keep them all). He has a VT, possible CT crossbreed. He'd probably pick up a female from Petsmart (which I think are also VT/CT mixes, not sure tho)... I picked up info that said anywhere from 200-600 for a HM. Giving that info, is there an average number someone can give me in regards to fry per spawn? Personal experience would be amazing. :D

Wow, that's a pretty big jump! :) Thank you!

Who's that in your avatar? S/he's precious, and looks like my Armand (who is sitting next to me going, "I SEE THE FOOD FEED ME!!!").

With a spawn you can get up to 300 eggs.. but I seriously doubt all of them will live. On average the ones that make it (that don't die or have to be culled) is around 50-80 usually.. sometimes more, sometimes less. With your first spawn I wouldn't expect all of the fry to live.
