I Had an accidental baby explosion many months ago and ended up with 6 new cories. They are "of age" now I guess and wont leave my poor female alone! She spends most of the day trying to evade them! Anyway to discourage breeding?
 
Probably not. #1 thing to do is not overfeed. #2 is remove the eggs after they're laid on the glass. But otherwise, separate them, or get ready for more cories. My main breeding female seems to have stopped laying eggs after about 5 or 6 litters, so it's probably not something that would go on forever.
