Overstocked Due To Fry - Advice Please

[Cooper2085]

Iv had to section of a part of my tank because my Guppies just wont stop having babies My full stock is:

3 Neon tetra
6 Copper Harlequin
3 Albino Cory
5 Guppy
1 Pentazora Barb
1 Amona Shrimp

But there all in what is now a 18 Gallon tank. Im overfiltering with 2x Fluval 2's and a Fluval 3 and i dont intend to keep this setup forever, only for 3-4 weeks maximum. Would i be best removing the tetras and the barb? Or are they ok?

how many fry do you have ?

At the moment, with that list it's only a little overstocked, but not horrible or anything. Too many people fret over little things like this. Keep up with water changes for the next few weeks and you will have no problems what so ever...

i'd get rid of the guppies.

You should be okay. Keep an eye on your water quality. But I do think you will be okay. Guppies sure do breed like crazy. Once they start they don't stop, LOL.
