I started with 4 elderly minnows I adopted from a friend who was going to flush them. then there were 3. I was going to let them live out the last of their lives then use the tank for my betta. but now betta has a new tank anyway.
my question/surprise is that I was giving the tanks a clean and thought I noticed some little things in the minnows tank. first thought was snails. but no, theyre fry.
I never noticed eggs, and the water temp is constant, only plastic plants. these minnows are around 6/7 and never spawned before as far as I know. so now I may have a constant minnow presence.
is there anyway to discourage spawning in minnows? or were they having a last hurrah?
I keep them in a tank whose temp is 20, they're active and healthy. would another temperature be best?
or am I doomed to multiple minnows?
