Hello to all, the title sounds cruel, doesn't it? I have cory catfish in a thirty gallon tank, and I have a breeder, and I have a male(s) who fertilize the eggs. I'm told the fertility of a breeder is approximately 8 - 10 years. I've had this fish for ten years now, and she has been breeding for probably six or seven of those years. The surviving babies I give to a fish store thank goodness, but I have had enough. She lays eggs at the least every month, and I am no longer interested in raising these babies. I was never interested in raising baby fish, but felt the obligation, I am not about to flush them. I was thinking when the eggs are first laid, if I scrap them off the glass or move them will that stop the embryo from forming? As bad as I want to stop this, I can't get rid of the breeder or put her into another tank, one tank is plenty for me, and I can't just toss the eggs in the garbage. Without using chemicals, does anyone know of a 'moral' way to kill fish eggs.

ever thought about selling them to someone who wants to breed them?
you could just suck them up from the gravel or glass. you could also split them up too.

My tetras think they are tasty snacks. I would think most fish would eat them if you detached them from whatever they were laid on.
