Ok, as the title says, i have to many guppies, i have a small (not sure of size) tank, with almost 100 fry in it. It started when i found 3 fry in the bottom of my guppy tank about 7 weeks ago, then 2 weeks ago, another of my guppies dropped around 40 babies, and last week another one had 50 babies, including siamese twins, must say it was fantastic to watch her having them. Oh the stronger siamese twin managed to seperate itself from it's hanger on, looks quite happy even though it has a srange protrudance from it's belly.
So the fry are in their very own tank now, seperate from their parents, who ever they are, the first three that where born are thriving in the main guppy tank. My problem is, what do i do with the rest of them?? i've asked lfs's, none are really interested, even though this lot if they are anything like their parents are going to be beautiful compared to some guppies i see.
I don't want to use them as live feed, and i do intend to keep a few, any of you have any ideas what i can do with them?
I'll try and get some pics up of my guppies aswell

ok, lets see if this photo bucket thing works

If you're willing to do it, you'd be surprised how many fish can be sold online using sites like kijiji and craigslist (although with craigslist you have to be sneaky about selling live animals). I haven't yet tried to sell any guppies yet but the fish I have put up for sale received tons of replies. People are always looking for fish cheaper than the lfs sells them. Guppies go for 3.99 or 5.99 a pair around here, so I think if I sell them for $1 that will generate enough interest. I may even raise the price to $1.50 if it works. I don't even live in a major metropolis. Figure out which sites in your locality get heavy traffic and post there once the fry are at a decent size, see what happens, you may be surprised.
 
On this picture whats wrong with the lower bottom of the tail? is it tail rot or was it getting picked on my bigger fish?
