How to cull?
Bros, how do you guys conduct culls? When I restarted this hobby half year ago, I bought myself less than 10 chapalang gups to test my ability. Now it's literally >100... and still producing fries every now and then. Of those chapalangs I only intend to keep the red tux strain. That still leaves me about 100 to cull. How do you normally cull ? Just flush them down ... ? Any humane method you bros can advise ? A bit heart pain to cull those that I raised from fries. If I give them away to Lfs for free, would they accept ?

some LFS will accept... another way is to use as feeders? or just keep a tank of cull? but in the end still end up dead because lack of care.....

I'm using some of the culls to do tank cycling now, and I still have 2 x 2ft tanks of them... very overcrowded, but somehow very lively and healthy despite lack of care. Hmm.. I'll ask around and if any lfs want them. |

or you can offer to people in Arofanatics for newbies to keep?
seperate the males and females to prevent them from further breeding? |

Yea, I used to separate them but now I just mix them altogether and let them mass orgy around. Sometimes, quite fun to watch them chase each other around in that crowded tank. |

I always give my culls to a hobbyist to feed his Dragon fish. This way, I wouldn't feel heart pain or guilty of killing it. Hahaha ... By contributing back to the food chain.

For me, I am thinking of releasing the excess fish to a pond near my house.
