Over Breeding

[PUFJAK88]

this is my first time here. i have a serious problem with my mollies. i have 2 fish tanks and my silver molly has given birth to over 75 babies. they are getting quite big now and my tanks are getting over crowded. i do not have much more room to have any more tanks in my home. i called local fish stores offered them free to them however they declined. i won't kill any fish no matter what kind or size. what can i do?

Welcome to the forum.
I don't know what country you're in, but if the uk try putting an ad on Gumtree, or your local free papers, even your local pet shop might let you put a card in the window.
P@H have a board too where you could put an ad

add natural predators and let them do it for u? that is an option. that way some might still survive and you are creating healthy nutritional and mental enrichment for the fish you add

Welcome to the forum! Over population can be a big problem. Aside from adding a predator to the tank or putting an ad in a local paper, you could give them to friends and get them started in the hobby.

I'd say ads in local shops or Gumtree is your best option.

have you tried garden centres? I've discovered about 6 I didn't know of recently, and most sell trops round here.

I could help you out with a couple if you were close, but I suspect that won't make a dent
