|  Thanks for the reply, FroggyFox.  Maybe we'll get a fish geneticist or something to browse by and figure this one out for us.  ...which gives me an idea... One of my best friends is a wildlife biologist and deals with fish a lot...maybe he'll have a better idea.  Either way, it's not one of those "if I don't get an answer I won't be able to sleep at night" type of questions, LOL. I guess I'm just curious about things a little too much and tend to over-analyze.  Big Vine

| Great job!! From my expiriance, you should never put the pregnant female in the breeding net, that will stress her and she will usually die and not give birth. I just let her give birth in the main tank and then catch the little babies afterwards. And if there are more than one male in a tank they might fight (possibly to the death) to see who is the dominant male. good luck |

| hey guys I am new to the forum and have seen some great information so far. so thank you for that first of all. I have had guppies and platies(swordtails) for a while. They are at the point now they are self sustaining, in that I only bought 2 females and 1 male and now the tank is full of fish(both guppies and platies). I love fish and I dont keep them for profit but with so many fry surviving and growing up to have their own babies do you all know any where in South Carolina I can maybe donate or perferably sell my fish? Or should I just go to the local pet store and ask them? |

| Well, if you pull the prego mommys out...and let her have babies in a seperate tank, you can use them as food. Dont give them a chance to run and hide.

| welcome to the tank, I cant help you but your best bet would be run an ad in your local classifieds or find a lfs, but IMO these fish are so common and multiply so easy that getting rid of them is difficult even when giving them away. |
