This guy just molted a week ago but I didn't think that they could mature so small. Oh, by the way he's like 4".

Have you guys ever seen a T mature so small?

 

[hearsemadam]

it happens

You also have to remember in the T world the females tower over the males normally

 

[catfishrod69]

Yep mature male for sure man. What species is he?

I know but 4" seems a little extreme. I hope he doesn't fall over dead the first time he sees a 7 or 8" female lol.

He's a Fascists. Why you interested lol.

stupid auto correct. Fasciata lol

 

[catfishrod69]

Oh heck yeah! I need a fasciata, my female is fresh!

In some species males can mature small, for some Poecs this can be 4 or 5 inches. I've seen it with pederseni, striata, and regalis. My ornata MM's are always around 7".

I have several MM P subfusca with smallest 4 inch and largest 6-7 inch, the others are all around 5 inches.

yep its amazing how much a size difference their can be sometimes, but some females don't care about the size its the motion in the ocean

As women have told you?

Kyle (noexcuse4you) had a p. rufilata mature at around 4".

 

[Ceratogyrus]

I also had a tiny rufilata MM. Around 12cm.
And just got a nice sac from the breeding too.

 

[gizmosdeath]

So what you guys are saying is that size doesn't matter lol.

My mature male P.Smithi is roughly 4.5inchs.. Tough to find a female tho

 

[captmarga]

Mature he is. I was stunned when one of my baby OBTs matured out at just over 3"... the same with a little tiny P cambridgei. Sometimes they are small but mighty.

My L. Parahybana matured at roughly 5.5 inches, which is tiny for that species. But he's proven to be a fearless breeder.

 

[xkris]

some time ago i read a similar tread, i think its about a lp mm. somebody said its not about mm being a giant, but having self confidence and spunk. haha spunk sounds cool.

as for human dudes and the motion of ocean thingy. size of the 'waves' does matter

 

[catfishrod69]

Some mature males can be huge, and worthless, only good enough to fatten the female up. Then other mature males can by tiny, yet have the drive to do anything. I recently tried pairing a very small mature male P. lugardi to 3 females. One female was completely webbed shut. He tore open her webbing and forced her out. The other female was vicious to him, but he kept at it. The largest female, atleast 3 times his size, was vicious to him. But everytime she backed off, he went right back in. He eventually got eaten by her though.

That had the makings of a heartwarming Rudy-like story up until the end there...

 

[catfishrod69]

I know man, sucks to lose such a determined male that had great potential. But it happens.
