Breeding Melon Barbs... Richard Phillips 06-28-2006

Hello all,

I have (unintentionally) bred some Melon Barbs in my tank. Great, you may
think, and it rather nice to see some of the little ones swimming about.

But; what if the breeding continues? Eventually the tank gets overrun. Are
there any steps I should take to prevent this future scenario happening,
short of killing some of them of course?!

Cheers,
Richard.

Short of separating the sexes in different tanks, you will have to offer
them to your local petshop (maybe get some store credit in return) or give
them away.
