I was really surprised that my barbs were able to successfully breed in a well stocked community tank. the first batch of fry are now nearly 2 inches and new ones are still appearing.
I have talking cats, clown loaches, synos, midnight cats, woodcats, rainbow cichlids, hoplos. I thought these would stop eggs surviving.
Any ideas on what I could add that would eat the eggs without causing too many problems. The platy fry and rainbow cichlid fry do not survive but the filament barbs are so fast they just seem to get away.
It is a large tank 560 uk gallons but cannot support another 5 filament barbs every couple of weeks.
