I had the same problem when I first started with Fp gar P-82.  The female was 
dropping 50 eggs a day and they were nearly all hatching.  In no time I had 
fry containers everywhere.  It finally dawned on me(I'm a little dense at 
times) to take the mop away.  That stopped the eggs.  I had the same problem with 
A. Bit Benin City.  I took the mop away and fry started to show up in the 
plants.  I then took a pair and dropped them into a tank of apistograma borelli to 
use as dither fish.  The next thing I knew, I had bit fry showing up in the 
cichlid tank, but no cichlid fry.  Some fish are just born to breed,  while 
others have to be bribed to produce a single viable egg.  I have learned to adjust 
my breeder stock so that I have just a few prolific types and some others 
that are slower producers
