Help?! my guppies keep breeding !?

Question

i have a smaller 10 gallon tank, which have 3 neon tetras, 1 catfish, 2 mallys, 2 guppies (female and male) and a snail. i love them all, but theres one problem. the guppies are like extremely into each other and every week she seems to be pregnant AGAIN. i already have about 20 little baby guppies and my tank cant hold that many fish. so, what should i do with them? my local fish store wont take them and i dont have the heart to flush them.

please help!

Answer 1

You will need to separate the male & female guppy...get them a tank of thier own, for the fry put them in with ma and pa or leave them in the 10 gallon....I dont know what to tell you if you can't find a store to take them off your hands....you could let the other fish eat them.  

Answer 2

By a tank and put the one of the guppies in it with some other fish that way they cant repurduce.

Answer 3

Look online for close by pet stores. Or post fliers in your neighborhood. Are you asking Petco and Petsmart? They won't take them because they are a chain store and they get their fish from suppliers. Smaller, non chain, pet stores will take them. I breed guppies and pretty much supply the small pet store by me because I have 4 female guppies and you can only imagine how many babies I have.

Good Luck!!!!

Answer 4

sale them let them breed or put one in a differnt tank with some other fish!

Answer 5

Just leave them in your tank and some will get eaten, or you could get a sperate tank for them.

Answer 6

I'm surprised with a tank that overstocked that the other fish haven't eaten all the fry.  I never take fry out and the adults generally keep the population pretty much under control.

You can try advertising them on places like Kijiji or Freecycle.

Answer 7

i agree w/ guppie girl 2, you need to find a small petstore. i had 2 full grown gold fish and i tried petsmart/petco and they wouldn't take them, so i went to a small petstore called petpalace and they took them.
