Really Stupid Spawning Question

[Sheridanp]

Can you prevent spawning? Or does it just happen? Because I don't really want baby fry.

 

[PaulEbs]

what type of fish are they?

you can take their eggs... makes good food for other fish??

if they are livebearing then feed the fry to the parents or other fish??

In a community tank you'll rarely see fry unless you seperate them or a heavily planted tank with lots of hiding spaces. You can prevent spawning by keeping only one sex Unless of course the prolific live bearers where females can store sperm for several months.

That's nice to know. I gues it wouldn't be the worst thing for them to spawn, but I wouldn't really know what to do.

what fish are you talkin about?

At a wild guess I'll go with corys - looking at the stocklist of that tank

 

[Sheridanp]

Any of them.

Well it's highly unlikely that you'll see fry for any of the others - unless you make an effort to get them to spawn - looking at your current stocklist.
