antispawn

[Jay-C]

i have a beautiful pair of freddies, and despite all my efforts, continue to spawn. does anyone have any idea on how to stop them from spawning without separating them? even if i remove a place for them to spawn, she will lay eggs right on the substrate.

alternatively i though about setting up a 30 gallon and feed the fish in there the fry from the freddies. are there any piscivores that would fit in a 30g? doesn't necessarily need to be ca/sa cichlids. african cichlids or characins would be ok if they can fit in a 30.

Maybe add some fish... ha. I had some texas that were like that in my 125 but I added a Jack, Oscar, and convict, and the just stopped.

pike cichlid will take care of them qick but the parents might take care of the pike cichlid

Give the fry away to hobbyists.

Bucktooth tetras will eat the fry. You could fit a small school in a 30g too.

A pleco would raid the spawn at night and eat the eggs.
