extra fish no more?

My plan of withholding fish flakes worked pretty well, I'd say. It was on the first or second day I could no longer see any of the fry, so on day three I provided food again. These fish can actually go much longer without food, but with a food source right there, they went for it!

I'm glad that problem got taken care of sooner rather than later, better to deal with miniscule baby fish than bloated, floaty tadpoles in my aquarium. Ewww.

Except today I found another little fish fry when I did a partial water change. Alas, maybe this is a problem that will never completely go away.
