My trouble is my rainbows seem to prefer to spawn up against the filter intake :) so I've just been pickingeggs out of the filter. maybe i should move the breeders to another tank, or put the filter on a timer so its off in the morning, so they'll breed in themop, then I'll move the mop to the other tank.. let us know how it works with the neons - thats what I'd like to try next.
