What does the size of an ooth mean?

[Lylelovett666]

My ABW just laid her second ooth and it's quite a bit larger than her first.I'm sending one of the ooths to the fellow(jetsky82) who was kind enough to provide the male for this venture and I want to send him the ooth that will likely hatch out the most nymphs.Being that the 2nd is much bigger than the first does that mean the 2nd will produce more nymphs or will there be fewer nymphs regardless of it's size because it's the 2nd one ?

if the ooth is smaller then your have fewer hatch out and vice versa if its bigger then it will hatch out more if they are all fertile!

I've heard that the second ooth will generally have fewere nymphs.

usually, but maybe it's different, also it could be that the second one has a higher foam to egg ratio the the other one. So maybe there is a 6 to 1 foam to egg ratio in #2. And a 3:1 foam to egg ratio in #1.

Why would it? If the second ooth is larger it likely has more eggs inside.

I am with Rick on this one. If you want more hatch out, get the biggest ooth.
