I am a fairly new tropical fish aquarium keeper and have just two adult platies now after being told when I bought them that they did not need heat but could live at 16 degrees C. The other ones got white spot and died which was distressing. But now I heat the tank, have a few plants and rocks and my two adults seem very happy and have just had about 30 babies. My female platy looks pregnant again. She's already produced three babies - now almost adults - prior to these 30 babies. So I've bought another tank (40 l size) which I have yet to set up.
Any advice on what to do about my very fertile female? My local shop is not interested in having the babies and I'm rather concerned that I shall soon be overwhelmed.
