I Need To Sell/get Rid Of My Guppy Fry!

[fishyvick]

ive kept guppies for years and i have recently set up a breeding tank, only to realise i dont know what to do with the fry when they are older! there is about 15 of them all around 2 weeks old, and i could keep 2 or 3 in my main tank when they are big enough but i dont know what to do with the rest of them! please help?!

Couple of things you could do:
1) Put them on Gumtree/Freecycle and give them away to other people who keep fish
2) Give them back to you LFS if they'll take them
3) See if they is anyone on here who lives locally who would take them
4) Buy a bigger tank?

thanks ninja, i think i'll try gumtree, and yeah i'll ring a few shops, but my local is pets at home and i dont think they will take them, and noone i know has any fish haha! i plan on buying a bigger tank and having a try of salt water next year so im not going to buy a bigger one yet, thanks for your help

most lfs' should take in fry - although it's rare that they will pay for them or even give you shop credit - unless you've bred something special.

I know my local P@H will take in fish so it might be worth asking at your local store
