My guppy just had fry. Again. And there's so many of them. I tell myself to see which ones survive and go from there, but as soon as I see a fry in the tank, I have to hunt them all down. :\
What do I do now? I don't mind that they breed- I love breeding fish. But there's too many, too fast. My 3 gallon is going to be way overstocked. There's already brown algae plaguing everything, and somethings wrong with the filter (I think it just needs a new filter cartridge). Do I do the above and release them all into the tank again?
I just gave a batch to my LFS, who will only take them if they're half the size of an adult.
Also, one of my older guppy fry has his fin raised like he's wanting to ask a question. I never noticed it before. Is it a deformity, or do you think something wrong? I had a fish get caught between the breeder box and the glass like a month ago, but I don't think it was the same fry.
My bronze cory is swimming wildly around my tank. My panda cory, for comparison, is swimming calmly. Is this spawning behavior?
As far as my other problems...
There's no sign of the white worms anymore, and everyone has perked up in color and overall liveliness after a 50% water change. <3
The guppy with pop eye and a big chest is still eating and chasing the ladies, so I'll let him be. If he gets worse, I'll go from there. He seems a bit better, though.
Thanks, everyone, for all of your help!
