Congrats on owning a nice orange body blue bar male. I bred the guy in my avatar at 5 months old and my female actually double clutched and produced a clutch of 32 eggs, 3 infertile and then a month later 27 with only 2 infertile. Some chams are early bloomers. If the base of the tail looks bulgy then hes carrying sperm. I think you are good to go though. Keep me up to date.
