That might work if you are not in Mass. Isn't that the state with same sex marriages? :) BAD!, DON! BAD!!! Donald From Mississippi. I plan to live to be 100. So far so good. |

This can be confirmed when they are about to lay eggs, because all the skinny ones (usually the males) will chase them all over the place trying to mate with them. |

Look around rocks, and between rocks, and around and on plantings, especially thick growth where they can hide the eggs. Nedra wrote: Cold hearted woman that I am!!

A Golden Orfe (or multiple ones of the same sex). Don't know if they'll eat the eggs, but they'll do a serious job of thinning the fry. |

wrote in message ... get thee a few Orfes. they will clean up eggs and fry nicely. Ingrid That's the name. I couldn't remember the name when I listed my fish in another post. I have one of those, and I also have a couple of shubukins (I hope I spelled that right). And you are right about the Orfes. Mine follows my big female goldfish around. She has been spawning for the past 6 weeks, and the Orfes just loves an easy meal.
