Hi all,

I have a pair of willaimsi and luckily they are doing well.
The female already layed 3x2 eggs with a little more then 2 weeks differencies:
2011-04-23
2011-05-11
2011-05-29

Altough she looks total healthy I'm a little bit worried about that she may over do it.
So my question would be that how much egg can a female lay in a season without problem and should I separate them after xx eggs?

Thank you four opinions

Females can lay eggs every 2-4 weeks. For this reason it is very important to provide them with a bowl of crushed up cuttlefish bone at all times and a well balanced diet, dusted with high quality supplements.

At the end of the season, be sure to reduce the lighting cycle down from 12/14 hours to 10 hours per day. This will help cool the females and get them ready for the next season. If you find your pair does not want to stop breeding during this time you may need to separate them until the next season.
