Two aquarium reports did not create a universal maturity clock

The evidence library is allowed to change in public. This page preserves the revised boundary, why it moved and which guides were affected.

What changed

The sexing, growth and breeding guides now explain why the reviewed aquarium reports do not validate adulthood at 75 days, maturity at 12 weeks, a 15-day incubation or a 27 C optimum.

Why it changed

One report began with one tank per market species label and did not expose reproducible offspring or survival denominators. The other began with selected adults and did not document the F1 hatch, starting denominator or age assignment behind its maturity weeks.

Affected practical guides

A public change is not automatically a retraction. A source may be added, a scope narrowed, a gap refined or an error corrected. The current guide and registry record own the current wording.
