Stopping fish breeding

hi guys i got a pair of Cichlids. I have had them for 1 month and i got about 100 fry allready, they all seem to be serviving, I cant have 100 fry every few months , what am i surposed to do with that many fish. They even mess my jewels up to protect there fry and attack my hand on tank cleaning day......
How can i stop them breeding . Can i add a hoplo or brisselnose to eat the eggs? I dont want to get rid of them they are stunning fish with good temperments when not breeding

 

as per the other thread the new published list is not LAW yet... it will only become LAW when JZ signs it

 

What type of Cichlids do you have that breed so much – wait – don’t tell me – let me guess - Convicts.

 

If i told u i would have to kill you.............

 

This seems to happen quite often around here Hahahaha

 

Reafer – I know of a vetrenary surgeon that specializes in micro surgery that is capable of sterilizing female fish. He has performed many successful operations on selected Cichlid species. So I will only be able to tell you if the operation would work for your Chchlids if I know what species they are. :nuts:

 

Split the pair up .......

 

I have googled - but cannot find fish condoms !!!!!!!

 

You shock me Zafgak.... Take standard human condom, fill with water, put fish in it. Close condom with tie-strap. Place condom with fish back into tank.... No more breeding......

 

Zafgak don't worry about the fish condoms just lend the male your little speedo! lol!!!!!

 

whahaha

 

Breed ugly fish....

 

Put them in ICE cold water.....

 

Zafgak, you must have a VERY hard life LOL

 

The one from Holland(Dr. Zipdekookietu) or the Russian Doctor(Dr. Cutjabolsoff)?

 

The best practice is to take the fry, add them in a bag with aquarium water and leave it in the fridge...the fry will go to sleep and eventually die.

 

Clove oil, not freezing them.

 

If I am not mistaken clove oil sedates them, so make sure you use high dosage
