[Killietalk] Need more males from F. gardneri N'sukka spawns

["bobalston9 at yahoo_com" <bobalston9 at yahoo_com>]

I have a breeding group of F. gardneri N'sukka in a 30 gallon with a big 
clump of java moss, another big clump of java fern and several other 
plants rooted in the gravel.  After removing the plecostomus and large 
snail I am again seeing babies.  However, I continue to get almost all 
females!  I now have about 10 females, two full grown males and about 8 
relatively new fry.  None of the new fry have yet seemed to show male form.

I understand variations in the number of the sexes is quite common.  Are 
there any reliable ways of improving the relation of males to females?

Bob
