Default African Ciclids Breeding

Hi, I have a 150 gallon tank with about 400 lbs of rock. My africans ciclids breed continuously. I have tried to remove the females - but apparently they have to ability to morph from male to female.

Right now I have about 50 babies all under 1 inch. When I remove them more will come.

Are there any fish that I can add that will eat the babies? Or is there a way to guarantee that I can permanently remove all the females?

To remove the babies I have to remove all the rock which is too much work to do on a routine basis.

Most of my ciclids are 4" to 6" inches long. I also have two clown loaches each about 4" and one pleco that is about 10".
