my breeding platies

[fishlady]

My platies are breeding like mad. I already have about 20 semi-grown babies in my tank and it is only 29gal! Does anyone know of a fish that will eat my next batch without harming my adult platies?

I'd try catfish. As long as they get to the babies before they get to big they will eat them.I've heard that even Corydoras Catfish will eat small fry!!!
I thought the other platies would eat the babies though ?
hope u cure your problam.

Fishlady, If all else fails, your LFS may take them off your hands. I had to make arrangements for the hundreds of guppy fry that were overwhelming my tank.

Tiger Barbs eat eggs like sarved Pigmies
You will need a least three so that they harrass each other and not their tank mates.
