| Managed to get myself some pictures at 5am in the morning My guessimate is over 100... + the 60 from the first batch. I'm not too keen on being overrun with fry and I don't want the adults to be exhausted. So how do I give the adults a break? | |

| Nice job..
I think that if the adults are exhausted then they will simply not breed?
I would probably reccomend just feeding high quality, varied foods and occasional protien | |

| the only way to absolutly stop them breeding is to remove the male or the female from the tank. thats what i do but lucky for me i have several tanks to move them into. The next best option is to remove the cave, the male will generally take longer to breed if he doesnt have a safe cave. But if neither of these is an option then i would suggest the same as crichards, good, high quality diet. and let them do their thing. You will often find that there is two spawns in quick succession then a break while the fish get back into shape | |
