Too many guppy fry at once

Hey so I want to have Some guppy fry but don’t want too much so with My research I found that a guppy Can have up to 50 fry and that's too much for me at once. (I Will sell My guppies but do not know if they Will be sold fast. That's Why I don’t want too many fry at first)

Do you Guy’s think it would be cruel te put Some of the fry in the guppy tank and let Natural selection do its thing or not?

 

I think that would work. The adults will be happy.

Mine is like that too I'm probably getting mine om friday or so

 

I don’t think that’s cruel at all. Certainly more humane than having an overcrowded tank of adults

 

In my experience, guppies aren't that great at controlling their own population. The adults don't actually eat that many fry. I left all my guppy fry with the adults and still had a population explosion. You may need to come up with plan C if you still end up with too many

Noice! I just can't wait until I get mine. I will place them with my white clouds.

Oh well I have Some other fish in there that Will litteraly snatch anything ina second so I think I'm good with that. I Will sell them anyways so if it really is too much I just have to put Some up for free. Thanks!

 

'Oh really I thought mountain minnows were Fin nippers?'

I'm not quite sure about this, but anyway, I'm gonna put them with white clouds

Sure, I will tell you

If you will get 50-55 messages written then you can PM me then and we can talk privately about anything

 

I had a community tank with tetras and guppies. Tetras did not help with the population explosion. My LFS just feeds the fry to their tanks with bigger fish. My solution was to get a couple of ADF. They're fun to watch and did a great job of population control.

Ha Yes I Can do that too. Do you think it would work with fish in a pond too?

 

Well, not all guppies will eat their fry. There are still lots of guppies which will leave fry alone.

They will probably already be pregnant when you get them. LOL

In UK they keep them separated.

Not in the lfs where I get them they get seperated early enough and none of My Friends have ever gotten pregnant ones

In UK they keep them separated.

In belgium too

 

To control how many you have, you can pick half of them out and give them directly to your fish(I know my fish LOVE fry and will eat any if given the chance.) Or you can just let nature takes its place. Up to you

Thank you I'm planning to do the first option I just hope My guppies aren't too peaceful
