Question about fish farming

[Tiddalik]

Is breeding random? I've noticed shrimp, for example, are breeding fast while others don't breed for days.

I was wondering, If I dedicate a area to 2-3 types will they thrive and multiple because they have the space regardless of the type of species?

I've been thinking about focusing on dishes with higher ratings but I don't want to empty my farms and focus on fish that just won't breed daily even if they have the room.

It does seem like some fish species breed faster than others. I try to keep 8-10 overnight of a fish type I want but it doesn't always I get 3-4 new ones. Sometimes it works though.

Still trying to get more marlins here, slow going.

Thanks for the feedback on your experience.

I have finally got enough tuna roe for 4 of each plus two sailfish so I was wondering if I could just dedicate a tank to the Tuna/marlin party fish because it's such a money maker for me.... but they just breed so slowly compared to others in the tank so I was curious if I remove the other fish will that "inspire" them to breed faster lol.

thanks again for posting.

My guess is that different breeds at various rates and have varied numbers of children. So far I've only really kept 2 of each species in my farms and cull it down to 2 every morning.

For example, I have noticed that every few days the jellyfish population will explode. It's not roe I've caught, as it'll be breeds I haven't hunted in awhile, but it also doesn't happen every day either.

On the flip side, fish like tuna seem to only have 1 child in a litter.

My yellowfin tuna have exploded while my bluefin tuna have stayed at 4 ever since I caught them to get 4 roe. It's weird.
