Too Many Fry

[Mybbygotsauz]

Does anyone have a good solution to getting rid of fry
i really need mainly peaceful fish to simply eat them, im getting overwelmed with fry
I currently have a 60 gallon tank with:
x5 dwarf gourami
x2 German Blue ram
6 guppies
12 neon tetras
1 rubber lip pleco
5 ghost shrimp
5 platys
4 mollies

i realize i already have some fry eaters but are there any other fish that i can add to significantly help the situation?
thanks

Why not simply rehome your female livebearers, and then the fry as they grow out?

You already have fish that are capable of eating fry - I don't think adding one purely for this purpose is a solution.

Agreed. Most fish will eat anything that fits in their mouths, including fry. Even so, there will always be fry that survive by hiding until they're too big to be eaten, and with livebearers you're always going to have the problem of fry.

Soybean presents the only surefire solution - lose the females.
