Baby Guppy's

[citroen]

I am a new comer to the hobby and I ended up with 3 male and 6 female guppy's, they had baby's, then more baby's.
The shop was not interested in them so what do I do with the population explosion.
Just to say I have 2 tanks and my wife said NO more.

Check other shops or humanely euthanize them. You will have more fry every month. You can also cut back on feeding a lot to get the adults to eat the fry.

Put them on craigslist.

What size tank do you have? I have a bigger fish that eats some of the fry so I don't get over run. At worst you may have to rehome your females and just keep males so you don't keep having fry :/

My tank is 60 ltr, has 5 neons, 6 glowlight tetras, 1
Dwarf Gourami, 9 adult guppys, and about 20 fry.
I am tempted to get an Angel fish (my wife likes them).
My second tank as above but has eggs from my neons.

Not big enough for angels. Your overstocked now. Also have different gh fish mixed up. Whats gh/kh?

I think an Angel fish will quickly outgrow 60 litres of water, I think eventually the fry will be eaten if you put less food in the tank.

This will be my plan of action, I do feed the fish a lot.
