I have kept cichlids before but never had a problem with them breeding too much lol. I have a mix cichlid tank and they are breeding like crazy I have 5 pregnant females right now and it just keeps going. Me and my wife have spent probably over 5 hours each trying to catch the pregnant fish but because my tank is so big I cannot catch them with a net, i have to use a trap. It has a door that u pull fishing line and drop the front door.
Is there something I can do to give the fry a fighting chance in the DT? Or do I need to try and take them out everytime. I know some people will say it is just mother Nature but I don't feel that way because in nature some fry would survive and the first batch did not they were dispatch very quickly. It bothers me knowing a fish goes 20 days or more without food so they can have aroumd the same odds as in the wild.
