What To Do?

[stef_uk]

My 180l tank is starting to look like a tank in a LFS, Everytime i turn round there seems to be more and more babies.

I started off with 4 Red Wag's then added a few blacks,a few Lemons and a couple of Pineapples with the Mickey Mouse markings at their tails.
First two times there were fry i caught them and kept them in a fry net until they were big enough to look after themselves but after that i left all new fry in the tank to take their chances.
Ive only got two adult males in the tank and one red fry that is starting to grow his sword.

The problem is that the tank is pretty well planted so the babies seem to be surviving pretty easily and are all colours,I have a couple of people who will take a few when they are a bit bigger,but theres only so many i can give away!
I cant face putting the fry in my big tank for my angel to eat after ive watched them grow..

Any suggestions that wont make me feel guilty?

Give them to a local fish store. Credit or not, you can't keep them all. It's not beneficial to the fish.

Most fish stores really don't want donated fish. If your local newspaper has a free column, put an ad for "free to good home". Lastly, stop watching them grow so your tank can balance itself out on it's own.
