Spawning usually take place in late afernoon of at night and it may take hours. The muber of eggs laid defends largerly on the age and condition of the female, with a prime female being capavble of laying as many as 200-300 eggs. It took between 24-32 hrs for the eggs to hatch pedening of the water temperatures. during their time as wrigglers they live on the food stored in their yolksacs. when a fry wriggle frees the fry will come after the parents bodies and graze contentedly from their slime.
