Every time I look in my tanks I see another batch of eggs or fry. Yesterday when I looked in my 210 I noticed that my dovii pair have a new batch of eggs as well as a couple of little ones swimming around. In my 300 the female red devil and male amarillo have a batch of eggs wiggling and the male red devil and female devil/amarillo have about fifty fry swimming around along with a new batch of eggs.

I'm starting to think that my males have found a supplier for viagra that I don't know about.
 
That's a nice problem to have. What will you do with the fry? Do you have an outlet for them or are they feeders?

It's not that big of a deal until I have two pairs breeding at the same time in the 300. It kind of turns the 8' tank into a 4' tank with one breeding pair defending 2' of each side.

I have given a few away but most will become feeders. I will try to save the dovii fry for anyone that wants to come pick them up that can house them properly. I may take a few of them to the lfs as well. The problem is finding someone that is willing to keep a tank large enough for them.
