I am having the same problem with a pair of red zebras and a pair of kenyis. The Red Zebras have had 2 batches since September and she's holding AGAIN!! I have about 50 babies in my tank.

...all depends on where you live as the moment, I will be looking into shipping very soon....but as far as I can see, the best way for a buyer to buy fish is to get at least 20 of them to make up for the cost of shipping them.....it is VERY expensive!!!

Yes, not to mention it is a tad cold at the moment...
OK like I tell any NOOB with this problem...
First pick up a copy of the MEANING OF LIFE by Montey Pithon.
Seccond Watch it... Pay special attention to the birth section...
Conclusion... your fish are Catholic and that is your problem all along.. np just switch churches...

....................
Don't you have another tank you can seperate them into? So you don't have future fry?
GL with the selling thing!
.........................
On the other hand
IMO I would get rid of some other fish from some other tanks and pump out the fry if it is fun for you.
................
You could try for the lottery....

In any case I know it is always a tough choice...

The only idea I can come up with is to put up an ad in the Calgary Sun or/and Herald telling them that you have small fry at a phenominal price. Tell them they are the young ones of wild caught adults. Put them at 5 a piece because they're smaller, and give them a deal on 10 or more. You might even be able to make a name for yourself.
Wonder if you could put posters on ad boards at Pet shops who don't sell fish but sell the supplies, ummm... maybe at other fish related places?

I'm just brainstorming here.... wish I was there because I'd buy a few from you... but i'd not get too many... I surely wouldn't want to be in your fishbowl right now!

The pet shop posters sound like a good idea....however, advertizing in the newspapers is really expensive....so I think I will try out the petshop/fishstore idea! Thanks alot for all the suggestions everyone!

I live in texas and i was really anting to get a family pool ging with a large tank. These guys (especiqlly since theyre parents were wild cought) Would make a great set! How much would it be?

 

[Tragic Avenue]

Just a thought but can you divide the tank,male and fry on one side female
and fry on the other without breaking the bonded adults until your fry
are grown and sold then pull the divider and do it again?

 

[Adrinal]

Hey you have no job atm right? Ill pay for gas you bring them on over

Besids MINN MN is pretty much the closest big city to Calgary... we have buildings here, and street lights. and FISH STORES!

Sorry man, next time I drive to the US of A, it will be straight to Washington again!

Build an outhouse and put a VERY large tank in there for the fry/adults!!!!!!!!!

One thing i was wondering, how big of a house do you have bro? That seems like a lot of tanks to fit in your average home

well that is good, the concrete floors............in fact, I am jealous.....hardwood floors here for the most part they are pretty, but don't get along with water
