Guppy Swarms

[pieman]

I'm just wondering, what do people do when they have 30+ guppy fry being made by 3 females every week, I mean i've seen them being sold on ebay for around 50p each, but I don't like the idea of packing them off in a crate.

I don't actualy have the guppy yet i'm just planning ahead.

buy a carnivorus fish(killi love fry) to eat the little ones up! or you could not take the fry out and hope they get eaten. or you could offer them to your lfs.

just some thunkables

I wouldn't mind my neons suddenly gaining a larger appetite

Your lfs will probably take the fry but only once they are half grown, in which time your tank may be too overstocked to grow the fry to that stage- what and how many fish do you currently have in your tank and how many gallons is it? I could suggest some peaceful fry eating fish suitable for your tank if it has enough space .

I'm not really looking for a big fish at all, something common and that wont turn on my guppy

It's ok to turn on their fry though
