Hi,
First off, congrats on the spawn & the wrigglers! It's a real buzz isn't it
Three or four times a week sounds about right for spawning frequency. Once mine first spawned (about 18 months back), that seemed to be their average. The fry I originally raised reached maturity at about 10-11 months old & since then, the odds are that on any given day, at least one of the females will spawn.
Left to their own devices, mine eat most of the eggs and (I suspect) newly hatched fry so the population shouldn't get out of control without some effort on your part. That said, I have two fish which appeared out of no where. (& very welcome they are too).
