Well seems like can't stop them from spawning. Have eggs again, actually they're wriggling already again, think they laid them last Thursday oct 19th....sucks because this is the smaller tank that I didn't get a chance to move into the garage yet as I did the 65gallon....might have to just empty the thing and let the poor buggers die, I keep on insisting they give me ADVANCE notice whenever they plan on laying eggs but oh well....o yea they laid it on the BOTTOM of the tank because I had taken the slate out to DISCOURAGE them from spawning and DURING that time they laid eggs once(got sucked by filter) on the bottom of the tank, after I put the slate back in they STILL preferred the AREA of the tank that they laid eggs in before, which had no slate, so they ignored the slate this time and laid them in the same place as the LAST time they laid their batch, one the shiny tank bottom
filter was so dirty and weak didn't suck the eggs this time and tank is dirty, water level down such a mess feel like i wanna spank them for not controlling their "urges".....
Just gave my red devils some goldfish twice their size, they're all busy right now ganging up on the goldfish devouring them
my convict fry seem to like eating very small goldfish too....gives me a headache when I look at my tanks, only one of them is nice and clean, the one i just moved last weekend. Have 4 other tanks that need cleaning badly!
