Re: overwhelming excitement - fry!

the first batch, you'll remember that excitement for a very long time
your almost guarenteed lots more batches now as long as you dont mess with them too much and they dont reach a population max
mine reach their max a while back, hence why i was going to thin the population down etc
but a point about the messing with them too much, i always moved the shells from one quarter of the tank, hoovered that sand with a gravel vac, and then returned the shells and they kept breeding, i'd rotate the quarter each week so that each area was done on a monthly cycle
worked really well for me and my fish
There are no experts, mearly beginners who know more than others.
