Worried About My Peppereds

[JustKia]

So, last weekend I moved all my community fish to a bigger tank.
Now, the peppereds spawn regular anyway, so I was not surprised that the first thing they started doing was spawning.
Only they've been spawning EVERY DAY since I moved them.
There's 3 females but only 1 really gets the attention of the 2 boys.
I'm worried that the poor girl is going to get worn out. Surely this much spawning can't be normal?
It definitely seems to be the males that instigate the whole thing. She'll be quitely eating and suddenly there's a male on her head vibrating against her like there's no tomorrow

do you do any thing special to make them spawn?

 

[JustKia]

No, they just keep doing it
In their old tank they spawned every 2-3 weeks and spawning usually lasted a day at most.
Since moving house it's non-stop

humm well i have had my coryies for about 3 weeks and i belive i have 2 males and 1 female so i will see what happens

They are obviously happy, mine spawn (C.Trilineatus)every 3-4 days,but platies are too quick for me to rescue the eggs!!

Rather than feel sorry for her, maybe you should be envious! lol

LOL - not sure about being envious of suddenly finding a male on your head when you're trying to eat - eek!
They seem to have taken a break since yesterday.
