Hello, I spawn with hormones which seems/seemed tabboo despite it requiring a lot of fish keeping experience.

I'm posting because an interesting aspect is my broodstock adapt. Nowadays, if I induce one female and return it to the tank for maturation, several other females (not injected) will also ripen in syncronicity - possibly because of the hormones she is naturally releasing?

A second interesting aspect is the offspring become noticeably easier to spawn with each new generation. I expect that one day, no hormone stimulus will be needed with me and elsewhere. Perhaps that's already happening?
