If you go to the forum index you will find the wanted and for sale Europe forum's then you can buy exchange give or sell fish. You may find someone who can buy BNs from you. I plan to do the same.

Take away the cave and you will usually stop (or at least slow down) their spawning. Better yet, put mom and dad in separate tanks until you are ready for more fry.

If you are concerned about space, you'd better hope it's only 30ish fry, and not 50-100 for a first spawn. =)) 8-} X_X

Taking away the cave may discourage them as mentioned with subsequent spawning fry production rates increase.
