Is there such a thing as a birth-control pill for a pleco, looked in my 150 this morning and noticed more baby plecos? ::) ::) ;)

I can't separate them as I have b/n plecos in every tank.

Any suggestions?

My suggestion is that you google the word "culling"

Unfortunately, as a breeder (as you have now become ;)) it is a necessary evil.  It does, however, have its merits.  It allows you to remove genetically inferior specimens from your breeding program, and it also keeps you from flooding your market.

If you don't mind all the extra bodies in the tank... raise 'em out and bring them to auction or sell them locally to the Big Al's and La Niche or even the mom and pop shops.

OMG Dad!! hahaha Didn't you separate the breeding pair? How are they still breeding from separate tanks???  ;D ;D ;D Are you sure they're not rabbits in disguise?? I agree with BD, raise out the cute little buggers and bring them to BA, or OVAS auctions...
