Aquarists, UNITE!!!

I'm working on breeding mosquito fish from the local creek (Rosa, my WC radix LOVES them!!). I have about 30 roughly 2/3 female 1/3 male. I've had successful broods that were quickly eaten by the bigger fish in the tank. Just put in a large "breeding mop" so hopefully the next broods will have more of a chance. I'm a bit lazy, so want to avoid the separation tanks and such. Hopefully want to set up enough hiding places that fry can grow. Any other ideas?

the breeding mop should make a big difference
