I meant for minimum weights for them to start breeding. Not necessarily adult size.

I have heard people breeding there males at 450g-ish...

The weight issue is more important for the females, due to them carrying eggs and going off there food for a few months.

Very true...but it isnt as demanding on his body as on a females. so i would have thought he wouldnt lose any substantial weight.
