Hi everyone,
After over 6 months my multis finally decided to start breeding, and now they don't want to stop. I think three pairs have had two rounds of fry in just over a month. In addition to the original 7 I now have at least 30 babies (I think. Hard to count the little guys). I don't have room for a bigger tank at this point, nor do I really want to indiscriminately kill off the fry (if I can avoid it). Are there any other options? I can't sell or give them away until they're a little bigger. Will 3 months be enough time to get them up to shipping size? And in your experience, do they stop breeding once things get too crowded, or will they just keep at it?
Thanks for the help!
