Well if you want to stop them from breeding, then you could seperate the males from the females (either in another tank or a divider) or you could sell some to your LFS.

You had better get another tank for your fry. they will all die in there because they will soon get cramped. I'd suggest a five gallon tank in order to breed them in, and it would be a better place for the female to drop than a breeder would.

The fish will become sexually mature in a few months. In about 3-4 months you should be able to tell the genders by the colors exhibited and by the formation of the gonopodia.
