Followup To

Question -
I know the pituitary glands are affected by light and temp to encourage spawning I need to know how I can use this information to control the spawning times specifically for the Orfe

Answer -
Hi Lewis,
 Sorry, but I have no idea what an "orfe" is?  Could you please explain (common names used in one part of the world often don't mean much in other parts of the world so I might
know the fish under a different name)

Answer
Hi Lewis,
 It helps in that now I know that you are talking about some kind of Cyprinid (i.e., a member of the minnow family). Unfortunately, I don't work with those so I can't tell you anything that will help you spawn them.  Sorry.
