[QUOTE="Predatorhousepet, post: 330173, member: 10650"] Male ghosts only live about 6 to 8 weeks once they become adults but females can live as long as 6 months after becoming adults so I wouldn't worry about speeding the males up or slowing the females down. They'll catch up to each other soon enough. Male subadult ghosts typically eat less than subadult females (they aren't picky, that's just how male ghosts are) but once they are adults males barely eat at all, maybe one BB twice a week, if that. Adult females eat a lot on the other hand, feeding them 2 or 3 BB each day is ok or you can give 5 or 6 every other day if they take them. Ghosts are prolific ooth layers so they need the extra energy to constantly produce all those eggs, they'll lay an ooth every 2 to 3 weeks for the rest of their lives. [/QUOTE]
