Over the weekend my BN pleco's spawned again, this will now be the 3rd spawn in a 29G. Since most of the fry are too small to ship, especially with the cold weather, I want to prevent them from spawning again for a while.
I know there is the option of a tank divider, however, I cannot afford one right now.
My other options are to temporarily house the male (probably 3.5-4" long) in a 10G that I have. But I am not sure if that is really way too small, even temporarily.
The other option is to put the male in my 55G. Problem there is I think I may end up over stocking the tank if I do that. I also have another BN male in that tank, and the 2 fought when in the 29G together (although that could have been due to the presence of the female). So, where do I temporarily move the male?
Thanks.
