What should I do!! I think I have too many fish!!?

Question

I have a 10 gallon tank with 4 mollies, a dwarf gourami, and 3 cories. One of my mollies is pregnant. I think I'm going to just let them grow up in my tank, if they make it. What should I do?? I can't get another tank, upgrade, or sell.

Answer 1

Most stores will allow you to return some for store credit. So if in the future you decide to get another tank or some accessories you will have a reduced cost.

DO NOT PUT THEM IN A GOLDFISH BOWL!!!

They are freshwater tropical fish and require heating. Dumb idea.

Answer 2

If you buy one of those micro heaters that fits in bowls and is made for bowls, yes you can put them in a bowl. You can sell them to a fish store or upgrade the tank. Depends on how much money you have, also, expect LOTS more babies!

Answer 3

Put some of the fish in a fish bowl. Fish Bowls are very cheap. A big one will be around $7. You will be ok.

Answer 4

Ive read that you shouldnt have mollies in anything smaller than a 20 gallon because they change the PH levels so badly. I had 2 in a 5 gallon tank with 2 other fish and they all ended up dying within 2 weeks. I waited a little while and got some different fish and theyre still fine alive, a year later, now in a 10 gallon. So I know it wasnt the tank. Call your pet store and ask them if they'll take some fish. Alot of them will because they can sell them again and make 100% profit.

Answer 5

Depending on how big the fish are, you probaby have a crowded tank. The rule is one inch per gallon.

Answer 6

well if you just let them grow in the tank most probably will get eaten. you have any left in the end then i would see if anyone would adopt them or buy them and if not then just leave them in the tank
