butterbum Posted February 1, 2014 Report Share Posted February 1, 2014 My Blue Gouramis are constantly spawning, which was great at first to see the whole process of growing fry etc. I have upgraded so I now have two tanks to help keep some of the population alive. I am wondering what other members do to deal with this issue of ongoing breeding?? Any suggestions would be helpful, since I only started my first tank in September!!

jvision Posted February 2, 2014 Report Share Posted February 2, 2014 A lot of times, I'll leave fry with their parents and let nature take it's course. Unless you're wanting to sell juvies - then this forum, Kijiji and stores seem to work for most of us. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

madagascariensis Posted February 2, 2014 Report Share Posted February 2, 2014 Reduce the temperature by a few degrees? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
geleen Posted February 2, 2014 Report Share Posted February 2, 2014 Here is a mean option but commonly used in a mixed tank: add a predator. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
butterbum Posted February 2, 2014 Author Report Share Posted February 2, 2014 LOL Yah multiple tank syndrome may have just begun. I only meant to start and have one tank. But my heart has a hard time disposing of little lives.... :cry: Proactively making sure the eggs don't hatch, may be the way. I have dropped the temp from 79F to 78F and will drop it to 77F. I have also found a fellow member willing to take some of the existing little guys!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
