Yellow Labs!

Well it have been while since I have posted. It that all my posts and my origional userid were erased sometime last month. Tried contacting the forum administrator and got no responce.

I am back and have an update on my breeding yellow labs.

The female did well in the 5 gallon tank and released 12 fry, they are all about 1/2 inch long and doing fine. I put the mom back in the main tank and about a week later she had a clutch of eggs in her mouth again! I don't understand why they keep breeding, I even added a second male to try to deter the breeding. The tank is overstocked and it amazes me that they find the time and privacy to spawn.

Instead of males, add females so that the same ones don't breed too often - fish that are forced to breed excessively will slowly suffer from it. No matter what, unless you remove all of the males, you will always have holding Labs - it can't be helped, they'd breed in a toilet!

As I am chasing down the one female lab to put her in the breeding net tonight I discover that BOTH my female labs are holding!
