How many gallons does your tank hold? The best guideline is 1" of adult fish per gallon of water.

1 ft
2 ft
1 1/2 ft

is that 20 g

A few people will take fry of you online: ask in the buy / sell if your willing to ship them; I'm sure a few people would take them, especially if they have interesting lineage.

Your tank is approx 19 gallons US.
If you get rid of the pleco( it is probably a common which get to over 1 foot long) you should just be ookay for a while, with regular water changes of coarse.

Well the best thing i would advise is to set up a tank. Maybe like a 5-10 gallon. Just keep a couple of plants and maybe 1 rock. Then when your guppis are pregnant then place them in that tank. Then you can ask your lfs to take them if they want them. If they dont and you can thandly all those fish then the wisest thing would be to do is keep the water temp a little higher/lower. That way the guppies wont have the right temp and wont feel comfortable breeding. It might prevent hem from breeding. But they are livebeares afterall

any1 no

By interesting lineage I meant the less common guppy types: delta tails, snakeskin etc rather than the more hardy breeders easily available. If you do end up with excess fry feel free to mail me: I have more than enough space for more.
