still continue to breed after ovulating? I was under the impression they will stop breeding after they ovulate.

I make a point of keeping the males in the tank with the females during and after the ovulation. I only remove them once I see the female swell and bask. I have had litters of slugs when I removed the male at the point of ovulation, but not after, so I like to safe guard this way. And yes, they continued to breed.
