I went to my tank this morning to get started on a PWC, and I noticed something strange in there. It turned out to be about a dozen baby fish!!!
I have a 20 gallon tank, and got some female guppies about 5 weeks ago. I knew that they breed easily, so I only wanted males or females. We chose the females because they were cheaper. They were in a tank at the store separate from the males. After 2 weeks, I got 2 platies. They stayed in a quarantine tank for 2 weeks, and I moved them a week ago to the main tank. I've been really happy because we haven't had ANY problems. Everything has been going really well.
So, what do I do about these new arrivals?? I don't know if they are guppies or platies, but they look more like guppies with long tails. For one, if they all live to adulthood, I will have too many fish. #2, I'm assuming some are males and some are females, so there could be more breeding, and more babies, etc., etc., etc.
Should I try to get them out and put them in the quarantine tank?
What am I going to do? HELP!!!
