Guppy fry population Issue

[alagars3]

I had a 10 Gallon planted tank and started with 4 guppies.
After 2 months, now there are 20+ baby guppies.

I don't have space to setup another tank. I am in UK and there is a lake nearby.
I want to know if these guppies will survive there in this cold UK weather?

Though I admire guppies for its coloured tails and friendly behaviour/easy to keep, Now I am in trouble without a solution to address their population.

Earlier I thought it's so unfair to keep just male guppies alone without a female fish!
Please suggets me some solution!

Never, ever release aquarium fish into rivers or lakes. You could introduce disease into the river/lake and guppies are not naturally found in UK waters so they would affect the ecology.


There are ways of rehoming fish from taking them to a fish shop (if they take them you won't get any money for them as they are so cheap from the wholesaler), to selling/giving them away (try the classified section on here or http://www.aquarist-classifieds.co.uk/ ). If you can't sell/give them away, then you'll have no option but to put them down. Use clove oil to do this.

Thanks for your reply. I am happy to give away without costs and have called 'pets at home' today, but they are not ready to take these babies. I will try the classified section!
