but you'll get a lot more fry moving the eggs/mop to their own tank, especially since the fry will grow much better at temperatures around 82-84 degrees F while adult bows prefer temps around 75/76 F.

Hmmm, most of my tanks are in the 79-81 degree range - just because of the plant lights. The adults seem to do fine in that range, but perhaps might not be spawning (I wouldn't know because IF they were, any fry would be immediately eaten before I would see them). So, I guess I'll try the spawning mops, then keep moving them to small nursery tanks to change out every 7-10 days. I appreciate your extra help Xman!
