I've not heard of medicine to put the female in once she's spawned. I just put mine into treated water with a little sea salt to help heal any wounds she may have received during the spawning process. I'm giving her a week to recover before I start to condition her again to spawn with a male a friend has (he hasn't been able to get any of his females to spawn with his new HM male) so I'm lending her to him.
This same friend culls unwanted spawns by placing alot of ice into a bucket of water with some isopropal alcohol (the rubbing alcohol type) and then all those that dont have the right colouring, body or fin shape go into the bucket and are left for half an hour then he disposes of them by burying them in a hole in the yard.
Although I don't like how late he leaves his to cull, he waits until they're large enough to tell colours. I always beg him to let me take them off his hands but he knows I don't have the means to look after that many fish and won't let me.
Good luck if you're planning to spawn
