Hey guys, my girlfriend is a teacher and she had a tank in her room. Now that the school year is over she has brought the tank home and to my surprise there are a lot of guppies. The tank is a 33 gallon but i would say as a rough estimate there is probably 30+ guppies, 5 mollies, 2 algea eaters, a clown loach, a placostomis, 3 zebra dinamos, and 2 tetras. now my question is this, i realize the tank is probably overcrowded, all the guppies are quite small and we have not been loosing any fish at all. So i guess my question is this, should i just flush some guppies that i do not need anymore? or can anyone suggest a fish that would get rid of some of the guppies for me without killing all the guppies or harming my other fish. Thanks in advance guys.

Some pet stores will take them, or you could use them as feeders if you know anyone that has a fish that will eat them. An angelfish might eat the smaller ones and would help keep the population in check. Also, the clown loach, and the pleco if it's a common pleco, will soon outgrow that tank. They will both easily get over a foot long.

Thanks for the reply, ill see if a pet store will take them, and yes the pleco is getting bigger and so is the clown loach (i got the clown loach to take care of my snail problem). But lately the fish have not been growing really at all. Is this because its overcrowded?
